A man has been arrested after officers found a large amount of suspected cannabis at an address in Chesterfield.

Officers were called to a house in Hillside Drive, Mastin Moor on Wednesday 24 February at around 12.30pm after receiving a report of a strong smell of cannabis around the property.

On attendance they found a 24-year-old man inside and, following a search, recovered the cannabis.

The man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class B drugs.

He has since been released under investigation, pending further enquiries.
