Two men arrested in £13k cocaine find

We have arrested two men after finding an estimated £13,000-worth of cocaine in Stoke-on-Trent.

Proactive officers acted on intelligence and searched a flat on Trentham Road in Longton this morning (Friday 26 April).

We found lots of cocaine, scales and mobile phones inside.

A 57-year-old man, from Stoke-on-Trent, has been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cocaine and improper importation of goods (class B drug) into the United Kingdom.

Another man, aged 34, from Stoke-on-Trent, has been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine.

Both will be questioned about the findings in custody.

We’re working proactively to disrupt criminals who plan, organise and commit serious criminal offences across the county, including drug supply, illegal firearms, knife crime, human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
