A man from Stoke-on-Trent has been arrested in an ongoing investigation into the supply of class A drugs in the city.

Staffordshire Police seized £10,000, a suspected drug line phone, four knuckledusters and an undisclosed amount of drugs at an address near Hartshill after originally stopping a van.

A 31-year-old man was arrested on Thursday (15 May) and has now been released under investigation.

He was arrested on suspicion of acquiring, using, possessing criminal property, being concerned in the supply of a class A drug and the possession of an offensive weapon in a private place.

Staffordshire Police say the activity represents an ongoing commitment to proactively target serious and organised crime across the county.
