The vehicle was searched and half a kilogram of white powder, thought to be cocaine, was found, along with a quantity of suspected ketamine, weighing scales and other drug paraphernalia, and a sum of cash.<\/p>\n

The four occupants of the vehicle, two 19 year old men and two 20 year old men, were arrested for drugs offences.<\/p>\n

They have been questioned and released on police bail this afternoon to allow for testing of the substances and items seized, and will return for further questioning at a later date.<\/p>\n

The police urged anyone with more information to contact them using the non-emergency 101 number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Officers from the Tactical Support Group made the arrests.
