Police in Middleton and Belle Isle focus on drugs, seize a vehicle, and address speeding in 20mph zones.
Police searched the car thoroughly, finding a knife and drug evidence. The evidence suggested class A drugs supply. Two men were arrested at the location, as they were involved in supplying class A drugs.
The police seized the vehicle for investigation. Later searches found more evidence, and this evidence linked the men to drug activity. The police investigation continues at this time.
