TWO people have been arrested on suspicion of drug dealing after a stop and search in Redditch on Wednesday.
Officers from the proactive CID followed a Nissan Qasqhai car that was showing no insurance and became of interest to them shortly after midday.
They spotted the car and its two adult occupants on the forecourt of Tesco petrol garage on Coldfield Drive and stopped and searched them both.
Nearly £300 in cash, a burner type phone, a phone believed to be linked to drug dealing, a suspected dealer list and suspected class A drugs – cocaine and heroin to an estimated street value of around £300 were found in the car and on the suspects.
A man in his 40s and a woman in her 30s were both arrested on suspicion of possession of a class A drug – cocaine with intent to supply, possession of a class A drug – heroin with intent to supply and using a motor vehicle without insurance.
They have both been bailed pending further investigation and the car has been seized by police.
Det Con Michael Vince of the Proactive CID team said: “This was a successful stop by CID officers after the Nissan car became of interest to us and two people are now being investigated on suspicion of drug dealing.
“The impact of illegal drugs and the harm they reap on the communities West Mercia Police are here to protect and serve is well documented.
“We will continue to track down those willing to deal drugs in our towns and villages, investigate them and bring them to justice.”
