Drugs were found inside a car in York after police stopped it for having a broken headlight and an expired MOT.  

The driver – a 23-year-old from Wetherby – tested positive for cannabis and was arrested during the stop last night (Tuesday, January 22) in Nunnery Lane, a North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said.  

Officers searched the car and found a quantity of drugs, including Class A and B substances.

“The driver was further arrested on suspicion of involvement in the supply of Class B drugs and possession of Class A drugs. He remains in police custody,” the spokesperson said.

Police urge anyone who sees suspicious activity on the roads to report it.
