Two people were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences after a car was stopped near Lancaster this week.
Late on Tuesday (August 8) officers in Lancaster sighted a vehicle which was flagged to have cloned number plates.
The vehicle was stopped on Mooreside Road, Brookhouse.
The two occupants were searched, as well as the vehicle, and a rucksack with a large quantity of suspected Class A and Class B drugs along with cash was found.
A male, 18, from Lancaster, and a female, 18, from Morecambe, were both arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs. They were taken to custody in Lancaster and have since been released under investigation.
Chief Superintendent Karen Edwards said: “This was an excellent arrest by my officers. Drugs pose a real threat to our communities and blights the lives of good, law-abiding citizens.
“We will continue with our proactive and robust stance to ensure we keep drugs out of Lancashire.”
