A 29 year old man was arrested following a stop check by police on the M56.
The man, from Great Sutton in Ellesmere Port, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs (cocaine) after police found a "quantity" of drugs and cash in a BMW he was driving. The officers had been performing a "regular patrol" of the M56 in Cheshire at around 9am yesterday (Wednesday, September 14) when they performed a stop-check on the vehicle, discovering the items.
They also seized the BMW during the incident. Following the arrest police then performed a search of an address in Ellesmere Port, and recovered items including clothing, electrical goods and homeware items which they believe to be stolen.
