A teenage boy and a 24-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of drugs offences in Rugby.
Plain clothed officers from proactive CID were patrolling in the new Bilton area around 3.20pm on Tuesday (10 August) when they witnessed a suspected drugs deal taking place in an alleyway close to Izod Road.
A 24-year-old man from Rugby was found to be in possession of a quantity of class A drugs, cash and a mobile.
He was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs and was further arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker after being detained.
He remains in police custody at this time.
Subsequent enquiries led officers to a nearby address where class B drugs and a quantity of cash were recovered.
