Police have seized five large bags of cannabis and around £50,000 in cash in Leamington, leading to two arrests.

The incident occurred on Friday (22 August) afternoon during a traffic stop.

A man and woman, both from Leamington, were arrested and later charged with possession of cannabis with intent to supply and possession of criminal property.

The cannabis, along with three mobile phones and a small amount of money, were all seized after a car was stopped in Warwick New Road.

Initial enquiries linked the car to a house in Lydstep Grove in Leamington.

Officers used powers under section 18 of The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 to enter the house where they discovered a larger amount of cash.
