One Suspect Caught on the Run
Officers quickly found and arrested one suspect nearby. They then discovered the abandoned car, which contained a large stash of suspected Class A drugs in the boot.
Second Suspect Nabbed After House Search
Following house-to-house enquiries, police detained a second suspect during a search of a home in Sutton-in-Ashfield.
Two Men Held on Serious Drug Charges
- A 22-year-old man faces charges of failing to stop, dangerous driving, and possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
- A 49-year-old man is also arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
“This was an excellent piece of police work by the officers on patrol and has allowed us to recover large quantities of suspected drugs,” said Detective Sergeant Georgina Gallagher of Nottinghamshire Police.
“I am pleased these two suspects have been arrested and our investigation continues. The use of drugs continues to cause huge damage to the lives of vulnerable people in our communities and as a force we continue to work hard every day to catch drug dealers and place them before the courts.”
