Two suspects were found with cocaine deals in their underpants when they were stopped by police.
Knife crime officers made the discoveries after pulling a vehicle over and bringing its occupants into custody.
The specialist policing team had been out on patrol in Bulwell, looking for knife-carriers and other criminal activity, when they saw the vehicle.
After running the car’s details through the police system and seeing it had potential links to drug supply, it was brought to a halt on Hucknall Road.
This took place around 5:50 pm on Thursday (12 December), with officers seizing large quantities of cash and multiple burner phones from inside the vehicle.
Believing the two suspects could have drugs hidden on them, both were brought into custody so that they could be searched properly.
This subsequently resulted in deal bags full of cocaine being found inside the underpants of the two men.
The drugs were seized, while the men, aged 20 and 23, were both arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
PC Greg Pick, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“This drugs seizure came about at a time when our knife crime team was out conducting one of our daily proactive patrols.
“While taking weapons off the streets remains our priority as a team, we are also always on the lookout for those potentially involved in drug-related crime.
“That’s partly because we clearly don’t want this type of offending in our communities, but also because some people involved in drug dealing do also carry weapons.
“This wasn’t the case during this incident, but we were pleased to be able to take quantities of Class A drugs off our streets and out of harm’s way.”
