A man has been arrested after we found an estimated £4,000-worth of cannabis after pursuing a car in Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Officers tried to pull over a black Mercedes shortly after 12am on Saturday (11 January) in the area, but it failed to stop and drove away.
We followed the car until it came to a stop. Two people got out and tried to run away.
Officers caught one of the men on Norwich Place and detained him. We searched the car and found a large amount of cannabis, believed to be worth around £4,000.
A 20-year-old man, from Stoke-on-Trent, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, possession with intent to supply cannabis, driving without a licence and driving without insurance.
He has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
Anyone with any information that can help us is asked to get in touch by calling 101, quoting incident 1 of 11 January, or by using Live Chat on our website.
