A man suspected of driving to Hove to visit another with links to drug dealing has been arrested at Pyecombe services and drugs have been seized from the car.
Officers from the Roads Policing Unit (RPU) found the driver in a silver BMW driving to Brighton at 11.30pm on Saturday, October 23.
An Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) vehicle check flagged the 32-year-old as a disqualified driver, yet he was behind the wheel with the engine running when he was approached by officers from the Tactical Firearms Unit.
A search of the car revealed two bags of cocaine and grip seal bags. The search also revealed a burner mobile phone and scales with cocaine residue on them.
The driver's Sat Nav told police that he was on the way to Hove, to the address of a man with links to drug dealing.
The driver was arrested on suspicion of possessing a class A drug with intent to supply, driving while disqualified and driving without valid insurance.
He was also arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence of drugs after failing a roadside DrugWipe test.
The suspect, a man from Crawley, has been released under investigation, pending further enquiries.
