Officers recovered a significant quantity of drugs and arrested two suspected dealers after pulling over a car in Nottingham city centre.
Members of the Knife Crime Team were on routine patrol at 6.40 pm on Thursday when the car was pulled over in Wollaton Street.
A subsequent search of the vehicle recovered multiple deals of cannabis and what is believed to be cocaine and MDMA.
Mobile phones and cash were also recovered.
A subsequent search of a property elsewhere in the city resulted in the seizure of additional drugs, cash and associated paraphernalia.
Two women, both aged 25, were arrested on suspicion of possessing class A and B drugs with intent to supply.
Sergeant Matt Daley, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“As these two women have just found out, anyone moving illegal drugs on the streets of Nottinghamshire stands a good chance of being pulled over, searched and arrested.
“We suspected this vehicle of being involved in the movement of illegal substances and very soon had our suspicions confirmed.”
Members of the Knife Crime Team are trained in pre-emptive stop and search tactics and focus on taking illegal weapons and drugs off the streets.
