Four men were arrested after large amounts of drugs and business cards advertising their sale were seized following a car stop.
Police on patrol in Daybrook around 9pm on Tuesday (10 March) observed a car being driven in an antisocial manner around the Go Outdoors car park, in Mansfield Road.
When officers approached the vehicle they were confronted by an overpowering smell of cannabis and searches were carried out.
Inside the car officers from the Gedling Central neighbourhood policing team located deal bags containing suspected cocaine, ketamine and MDMA.
They also found a number of business cards advertising the sale of cannabis, vapes and other items.
Four men in the vehicle, aged 18, 18, 18 and 19, were then arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs.
The team carried out a second proactive vehicle stop on Wednesday (11 March) when they pulled over a car which intelligence linked to drugs supply.
The driver and the vehicle were searched and again officers recovered large amounts of cannabis, suspected cocaine, ketamine and MDMA.
A 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs and possession of a psychoactive substance with intent to supply.
Inspector Steven King, local area commander for Gedling, said:
“Tackling drug supply is a key priority for my officers so teams are always alert to vehicles which could be involved.

“With both these stops their suspicions were proved correct and we have been able to recover significant quantities of drugs.
“We know these seizures and arrests can severely disrupt the illegal drugs trade and it is always good news when we can take these substances off the streets.”
