Two Men Arrested On Suspicion Of Drugs And Vehicle Offences

Two men have been arrested following an incident in Newport in the early hours of this morning (Monday).

At approximately 12.10am, officers responded to a collision involving a van and a car on Whitepit Lane. While police were on scene, officers noticed a plastic bag being thrown over a fence. This was seized and found to contain a number of pills. Officers subsequently arrested a 33-year-old man at the scene on suspicion of possession of Class A drugs.

During the arrest, another man at the scene decided to run away from the scene, but was quickly arrested by pursuing officers on foot, who also then seized another small bag of pills.

A man, aged 24, was arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A drugs, and following some enquiries at the scene was further arrested on suspicion of driving whilst unfit through drugs and aggravated vehicle taking.

The 33-year-old was also further arrested on suspicion of aggravated vehicle taking and both men were conveyed to custody.
