£20,000 Worth Of Cocaine Seized As Eastbourne Man's Arrested

A man has been arrested and around £20,000 worth of cocaine has been seized from a property in Eastbourne last Thursday, according to police.

Officers from the Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) and the Roads Policing Unit (RPU) joined forces to patrol hotspot areas for noisy and anti-social driving.

Police say the arrest followed intelligence developed by the Eastbourne NPT on a vehicle suspected to be involved in the distribution of illegal substances.

Officers stopped the car in Langney Road and conducted a search, which revealed a small plastic tub containing cocaine in the centre console. 

A subsequent search of the driver’s address led to the discovery of hundreds more wraps of suspected drugs with an estimated street value of £20,000, and around £2,000 in cash.

The driver – a 41-year-old man from Eastbourne – was released on conditional bail until 6 November, pending further enquiries.
