We have arrested two people in connection with drugs supply in Southampton.

Last night (Monday 17 June) at around 9.20pm officers stopped a vehicle of interest in an ongoing drugs supply investigation in the north of the city.

A 39-year-old man from Southampton was searched under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and suspected Class A drugs, Class B drugs and more than £700 in cash were located.

Shortly afterwards an address connected with the man was searched under Section 18 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, where further suspected Class A drugs and Class B drugs were found.

The man and a 23-year-old woman from Southampton were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and B drugs. They remain in police custody at the current time as our enquiries progress today.

The arrest forms part of our wider work to disrupt the supply of drugs in Southampton.
