Officers from Stockton’s Neighbourhood Policing Team stop searched a man this afternoon in Stockton town centre and seized a quantity of Class A drugs, believed to be crack cocaine.

A search of a property also led officers to seize Class B drugs, believed to be amphetamine, and pepper spray.

A 46-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and B drugs and possession of a weapon for the discharge of a noxious liquid/gas.

He has since been bailed pending further enquiries.
