Two men were arrested after police stopped a car on a Crewe petrol station forecourt and discovered suspected Class A drugs.

On Thursday 5 November, officers stopped the vehicle on Bradfield Road, after it had reportedly been acting suspiciously in the area a few nights earlier.

At around 10.30pm, the car was boxed in by officers, with the passenger detained before the driver returned to the vehicle. He was also detained.

The 31-year-old driver failed a roadside breath test and a drugs test, which indicated traces of cocaine.

He was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving, drug-driving and possession with intent to supply a Class A drug.

The 28-year-old passenger was also arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug after a suspected Class A substance and drug paraphernalia were found inside the car.

Both have since been released under investigation with enquiries ongoing.

A Cheshire Police spokesperson told Nub News: "The driver's age is 31 and the passenger is 28. Both were released under investigation."
