Police work resulted in the arrests of two suspected drug dealers following a proactive vehicle stop.
Officers spotted and followed a car in the Mansfield Road area of Sutton-in-Ashfield during the early hours of today (Saturday 3 September 2022).
After stopping the vehicle they arrested two suspects and recovered a quantity of deal bags from within the car which were suspected to contain Class A drugs.
A 25-year-old man and 35-year-old woman are being questioned on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug.
Detective Inspector Kayne Rukas, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Thanks to the swift work of officers harmful drugs are now off Nottinghamshire’s streets and two suspects have been arrested.
“As a force we treat drug possession and supply extremely seriously as not only is it an offence in itself but, as we know, it can feed into and be linked to wider serious and organised criminality, which can have a detrimental impact on communities.
“We will continue to do everything in our power to keep people safe, protect vulnerable young people against organised drug crime and crack down hard on drug dealers looking to prey on others.”
