Police have arrested a man in Brighton after discovering him in possession of a large quantity of drugs. Officers from the Brighton Police, Tactical Enforcement Unit, and Neighbourhood Policing Team responded to a report of a suspicious man illegally riding a scooter on Eastern Road around 11am on 29 August.
Upon being challenged by police, the suspect attempted to flee the scene but was swiftly detained on Madeira Drive. A search of the man revealed 90 individual zip bags of cannabis, with an estimated street value of £5,000.
The 24-year-old, who has no fixed address, was arrested on suspicion of driving without a licence or insurance, theft of a vehicle, and possession with intent to supply a Class B drug. He has since been released on conditional bail, and investigations remain ongoing.
Authorities are urging anyone with information or footage to contact police online or via 101, quoting serial 429 of 29/08.
