A man has been arrested after officers located approximately half a kilo of suspected Class A drugs and more than £10,000 in Aldershot last night.

We were called at 10.30pm on Monday 16 June to a report of a potential burglary in progress at a vacant address on Orchard Way.

The landlord called the police after he checked the property and disturbed someone who was inside.

Units from the Hart & Rushmoor District Policing Team (DPT) quickly attended the scene and arrested a man at 10.36pm on Ash Road following a short foot pursuit.

Approximately half a kilo of suspected Class A drugs, a large amount of cannabis, a blade and more than £10,000 in cash was located and seized following a search.

Officers then searched the address he fled from and located further drugs and drug paraphernalia. All items were seized.

A 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class A and Class B, possessing a knife blade / sharp pointed article in a public place and burglary dwelling – with intent to steal.

He remains in custody while our enquiries continue.
