Officers from Harrogate's pro-active drugs team, Operation Expedite, in Skipton, have an arrested a man on suspicion of drug supply, Proceeds of Crime Act and driving offences.
At 6pm on 16th June, plain clothes officers were conducting proactive patrols when they sighted a vehicle of interest on Keighley Road in the town.
A drugs search was conducted on the man, the sole occupant of the vehicle. A significant amount of cash located and the man also failed a roadside drug wipe.
The Op Expedite officers then attended an address in Earby, Lancashire, to conduct a search of the suspect’s property. This uncovered a large quantity of cannabis, cannabis edibles, cannabis oil and a large quantity of suspected Xanax tablets, a Class C drug.
During the searches officers also located nearly £2.5k in cash and a large amount of drug paraphernalia and high end designer clothing.
The suspect has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
