Police in Arnold have recovered a stash of suspected cocaine and cannabis was recovered after officers went to investigate a report of an argument over a drug deal.
Officers attended and found two men sitting in a parked car. When they went to speak to the men, they noticed that there was an amount of cannabis with them.
As a result, they further searched the two men and the car, which was parked in Nursery Road, Arnold, when they found more cannabis as well as white powder, believed to be cocaine. The drugs, as well as mobile phones and cash were subsequently seized.
Two men, aged 36 and 39, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A and class B drugs following the report just after 1.20am on Monday (August 16, 2021). They remain in custody.
Neighbourhood Policing Inspector for Gedling Chris Pearson said: “Wherever we receive intelligence from the community, we will always look to act on this as efficiently as possible.
“Possessing illegal drugs is a crime in its own right, but it can also be linked to wider criminality. This is why we take such reports extremely seriously as well as using our resources such as neighbourhood officers and Operation Reacher teams to tackle any such issues proactively.
“We would strongly encourage anyone who sees anything suspicious or who has any concerns in their local area to contact their local team.
“Officers were quick to respond and have taken a quantity of drugs out of circulation. As well as this, two men were arrested.
“Our enquiries are ongoing into this and we would ask anyone with information to get in touch on 101, quoting incident 27 of 16 August 2021.
