Rushcliffe Police are asking any villagers with further information to come forward following the arrest in Ruddington of two men with a large quantity of drugs.
Officers were called to Asher Lane at around 11.15am last Wednesday, 4th October, following reports a car was being driven across farming land before becoming stuck. Two police patrol cars boxed the vehicle in as it attempted to leave the field. When the officers carried out a search they discovered a large amount of cannabis bagged up inside the vehicle.
Two men, aged 30 and 33, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cannabis. The 33-year-old was further arrested on suspicion of being unfit to drive through drugs.
Inspector Tim Cuthbert, the neighbourhood policing inspector for Rushcliffe, says: “We are always alert to suspicious behaviour like this and were able to quickly attend the scene, box in this vehicle and search it. The drugs found within the car will be taken off the streets and destroyed. The supply of cannabis is often linked to wider, serious criminality and is taken very seriously by the force.”
The inspector adds: “I’d like to thank the member of the public for reporting this incident to us. Officers cannot be everywhere and people in rural communities like this are our eyes and ears.”
Although two suspects were arrested, the Nottinghamshire Police investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with any information is asked to contact them online >>HERE<< or call 101 quoting incident number 211 of 4th October 2023, or you can ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
