Two arrested over drug supply offences

Two people have been arrested and drugs seized after officers chased a man seen acting suspiciously on an e-scooter in Tamworth.

We were on proactive patrol in the Stoneydelph area yesterday evening (Monday 16 March) when officers saw a man on an e-scooter making multiple stops.

Following a short foot chase, a 31-year-old man, from Tamworth, was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

A later search of a property saw suspected heroin, cocaine, cannabis and drug paraphernalia seized.

A 24-year-old woman, from Tamworth, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

They each remain in police custody while our inquiries continue.
