A man has been arrested after police seized 120 wraps of suspected Class A drugs during specialist patrols in Wolverhampton.

Officers from West Midlands Police's Guardian Taskforce were patrolling the Staveley Park area of Whitmore Reans on Monday evening (November 9) when they stopped and searched a man.

During the search, officers recovered 120 wraps believed to contain crack cocaine and heroin, along with cash and a mobile phone.

A 45-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and remains in police custody as enquiries continue.

The arrest came as part of Wolverhampton Police's ongoing Operation Redfox, which aims to tackle organised crime and criminal activity in public spaces across the city.

The operation involves targeted patrols in hotspot areas, with police urging residents to come forward with information about suspected criminal activity.

A West Midlands Police spokesperson said: "We're encouraging the community to report information so we can tackle criminal activity.

"We're here for you 24/7 and the more information we receive, the better we can address issues which matter and concern you."
