"Conducting stop checks of vehicles such as this can potentially stop someone from being burgled, or keep them safe from the violence and exploitation often involved with drug dealing.
“Stop checks are hugely important when it comes to taking dangerous people and drugs and weapons off our streets.
“No criminal should profit from misery while our wider law abiding communities work hard to earn an honest living. If you know someone involved in crime, please let us know so we can take them off our streets.”
A police spokesman said: " Please report all crime via our social media channels, calling 101 or in an emergency, always call 999."
