The man was arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis with intent to supply and has been bailed until April 30, pending further inquiries.

Sergeant Trevor Harrison, from the Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “This shows that we will act on information passed to us. If anyone else has any information, please do get in touch.”
