Blythe Bridge man arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class B drugs

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of drug offences following a search in Stoke-on-Trent.

Officers spotted a car being driven dangerously on Anchor Road in Adderley Green at 7.14pm on Sunday (21st May).

Police pulled over the car and while they were carrying out a search, one of the passengers tried to run off.

Officers managed to detain the man along with two others who were travelling in the car. They found cannabis inside and also tested the driver, who gave a positive reading for cannabis.

All three men, aged 28, 27 from Longton and 30, from Blythe Bridge, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class B drugs.

The driver was also arrested on suspicion of drug-driving.

They have since been released under investigation while inquiries continue.

The arrests come as officers continue to crackdown on serious and organised crime as part of their joint work with the Regional Organised Crime Unit and West Midlands Police as part of Operation Target.
