Cannabis haul found following pursuit in Newcastle-under-Lyme
A man has been arrested after police found an estimated £4,000-worth of cannabis after pursuing a car in Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Officers tried to pull over a black Mercedes shortly after 12am on Saturday (11 January) in the area, but it failed to stop and drove away.
Police followed the car until it came to a stop; two people got out and tried to run away.
Officers caught one of the men on Norwich Place and detained him. They searched the car and found a large amount of cannabis, believed to be worth around £4,000.
A 20-year-old man, from Stoke-on-Trent, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, possession with intent to supply cannabis, driving without a licence and driving without insurance.
He has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
