Cyclist arrested following discovery of drugs
A man has been arrested after drugs were found on him during a stop-and-search.
Officers from Staffordshire Police stopped a man on an electric bike on Monday afternoon on Pendle Hill in Hednesford and discovered class B drugs on his person.
The 26-year-old rider was also found to be disqualified from driving, as well as refusing to provide a sample for analysis and was riding a bike found to be uninsured.
Officers arrested the man on suspicion of driving whilst disqualified, failing to provide a specimen for analysis as vehicle driver, possession with intent to supply class B drugs and using a motor vehicle on a road/public place without third party insurance and seized the drugs and bike.
He was later released under investigation, while inquiries continue.
