Two people arrested after drugs and substantial amount of cash seized in Chesterfield

Two people have been arrested after a large amount of drugs and thousands of pounds in cash were seized in Chesterfield.

Officers stopped a car in Station Road at 1.50pm on Sunday 19 February on suspicion of driving without insurance – a search of the car found a quantity of suspected cannabis inside the BMW.

A search of a property in Spencer Street was then carried out at 6pm on the same day, with more drugs and nearly £29,000 in cash located.

A man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of possession of Class B drugs with intent to supply and money laundering, while a woman in her 50s has been arrested on suspicion of possession of criminal property.

Both have been bailed pending further enquiries.
