Police arrest two men in a car suspected to be transporting drugs.
Nottinghamshire Police officers became aware of the vehicle which was seen on the A610 Nuthall Road at Aspley shortly after 8pm on Saturday (27 February 2021) and was heading towards the M1.
The officers followed the car which was safely stopped just before 8.30pm near to junction 29.
When they searched the car they found large bags of cannabis in the boot as well as a quantity of cash inside the vehicle.
Both occupants, aged 27 and 30, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cannabis and remain in custody.
Following further enquiries police carried out a search of a property connected to the case in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, where a large quantity of cannabis growing equipment was found in a shed.
