Two men have been arrested after police stopped a car and uncovered a stash of cash and cocaine.
Officers pulled over the Seat Ibiza in Broad Street, Salford, shortly before 12.45am on Tuesday, May 5.
An initial search of the car uncovered a large quantity of cash.
Officers then decided to conduct a more thorough search, which led to them seizing a quantity of cocaine.
Two men – aged 29 and 26 – have now been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and for breach of COVID-19 legislation.
The 26-year-old man has further been arrested on suspicion of driving whilst disqualified, taking a vehicle without consent and obstructing police.
Both men have been released under investigation, Greater Manchester Police has said.
Inspector Michael Parker, of GMP’s Salford division, said: “This stop and search was conducted by two of our student officers.
“These students are a credit to our programme, showing great initiative and proactivity which has resulted in two men being arrested and a quantity of drugs and cash being swiftly seized.
“Drugs have a hugely detrimental impact on our society and stopping them from entering our streets is a great step towards tackling drug crime in our community, which remains a great priority for GMP.”
