Two arrested on drug offences after vehicle stop

Cocaine and cash have been seized after we arrested two men on suspicion of drug offences in Burton-on-Trent.

Officers stopped a car off Waterloo Street at about midday yesterday (Wednesday 10 June).

A total of 13 bags of suspected cocaine were discovered along with more than £1,000 cash.

Officers then carried out a search of an associated address in Stapenhill where additional mobile phones were seized.

Two men, aged 27 and 29, both of Burton-on-Trent, were arrested.

The 27-year-old was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs, cocaine; possession of criminal property, driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence and driving without insurance.

The 29-year-old was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A drugs, cocaine.

They each remain in police custody while our inquiries continue.

We are determined to crackdown on the supply of illegal substances across Staffordshire and urge anyone who sees anything suspicious in their area to get in touch with us.
