The substance found in the sandwich bag was also confirmed as cocaine, with an estimated street value of up to £1,350. Detective Constable Danielle Taylor said: "It’s clear that the drugs discovered during this traffic stop were destined for onward supply, but thanks to our officer’s quick intervention, we have successfully taken a large amount of class A drugs off the street.
