Two arrested after drugs, cash and mobile phones seized

Two men have been arrested after we seized drugs, cash and mobile phones in Stoke-on-Trent.

Officers stopped two men on King William Street, Tunstall, just after 2.30pm on Wednesday (1 May) and found cannabis, mobile phones, scales and £985 cash.

When officers later searched an address in Tunstall they found more mobile phones, scales and suspected heroin and crack cocaine.

A 22-year-old man, of no fixed address, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply heroin cocaine and cannabis.

An 18-year-old man, from Stoke-on-Trent, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply, heroin, cocaine and cannabis.

Both have been released under investigation while our enquiries continue.
