Rimel Hanchard was removed from the vehicle and the constables seized a sheathed knife from his waistband that was 25 centimetres long. A further search recovered three packages from his trousers that contained a total of more than 200 wraps of cocaine and heroin. The constables also located £630 in his pockets.
