ARRESTS MADE IN RUGELEY

We have arrested a man and will interview another after finding cocaine, cannabis and a machete in a car and properties in Rugeley. 

Officers were near Redbrook Lane at around midday on Tuesday (30 June) when they stopped a vehicle.

Cash and a phone containing drug supply-related messages were found.

A further vehicle was searched on the driveway of an associated property. Cocaine, cannabis, scales and mobile phones were found.

A search of two related properties then led to more cannabis being found, along with magic mushrooms and a machete.

A 48-year-old man, from Rugeley, was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine. He has since been released on bail while our inquiries continue. 

A 47-year-old man, also from Rugeley, is to be interviewed in connection with the incident at a later date.

We continue to do all we can to disrupt the supply of illegal substances in Staffordshire and are determined to apprehend those responsible.
