Two police officers suffered minor injuries after stopping a car in Stoke-on-Trent containing an estimated £1k-worth of cocaine.

A 25-year-old man has been arrested after the cocaine and a suspected drugs line phone was seized. 

At around 3pm yesterday (Wednesday 22 October), Staffordshire Police officers stopped a car in Penkhull, following intelligence that it was potentially linked to drug supply. 

Cocaine, £430 in cash and a suspected drugs line phone was seized. 

The man, from Telford, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A (cocaine), obstructing/resisting a constable in execution of duty and assaulting a constable in the execution of their duty. 

He remains in police custody for questioning.
