A car was searched in Burntwood at about 8.20am on Friday and officers went on to discover a large amount of suspected heroin and crack cocaine.

Subsequently, a 52-year-old man, from Burntwood, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a class A drug.

As part of the same operation, officers then went on to search an address in Burntwood and a 40-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a class A drug.
