Three people arrested for drug offences after police “act on instincts” and pull car

Three people were arrested for drug offences after “acting on instincts” over a vehicle of interest that was pulled over.

Waterlooville officers made a proactive stop on June 10 while returning to their home station to go off duty.

A social media post by the force said: “Spotting a vehicle of interest, their instincts proved right. The vehicle was stopped and, with support from the Portsmouth District Policing Team, all three occupants were detained for a search.

“Checks quickly revealed the driver held only a provisional licence and was over the drink-drive limit. Searches of the vehicle also uncovered a quantity of cannabis and suspected Class A drugs.”

A 49-year-old man from Waterlooville was arrested on suspicion of drug supply offences, drink driving, and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence. He will be going to court for the driving offences.

A 40-year-old woman from Waterlooville was arrested on suspicion of possession of a Class B drug with intent to supply.

A 29-year-old woman from Waterlooville was arrested on suspicion of possession of a Class B drug with intent to supply and possession of a Class A drug. She has been remanded in custody for unrelated matters.

All three individuals have been released under investigation for the drug offences while enquiries continue.

Police added: “A strong example of proactive policing, teamwork, and acting on instinct to keep our communities safe.”
