Officers approached the vehicle due to sighting the occupant of the vehicle conducting a suspected drug deal. A male was quickly detained with a large quantity of suspected class A drugs recovered, further checks on the vehicle revealed that the driver did not have any valid insurance or hold a driver’s licence.
