OFFICERS from North Yorkshire Police seized more than £1,000 worth of cannabis in a routine stop this week.

The force’s Road Policing Group took to Twitter to praise an officer’s “sixth sense”, after they stopped a Fiat Scudo in Micklegate, Selby, at about 1pm on Wednesday.

A police spokesman said: “Following a search of the vehicle, officers located a quantity of what is believed to be cannabis.

“As a result, the 37-year-old man from Barlby, driving the car, was arrested on suspicion of possession of a Class B drug with intent to supply.

Officers then carried out a search of home address, where they located and seized a further quantity of what is believed to be cannabis.”

The man has been released on bail while police enquiries continue.

Anyone with information can phone Selby police on 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
