Police have arrested a man on suspicion of possession with intent to supply after drugs were found during a search of his vehicle.
Operation Reacher officers were on patrol on Sunday (April 5) near Ravenshead when they spotted a vehicle acting suspiciously around Longdale Lane.
Officers had seen a male near a van who then went running off into the woods.
A bit of perseverance paid off when officers saw the same van being driven north along the A614. The van was stopped and searched during which a package of drugs was found hidden behind one of the panels and the driver was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs.
A spokesman said: “The driver was also suspected of being under the influence of drugs when he was driving but refused a blood test at the Police station so has been charged with failing to provide a specimen.”
