Class A drugs found stashed in ice cream tub as police make £20k bust
A £20,000 haul of suspected drugs has been seized - with some of them found stashed in an ice cream tub.
Officers with a drugs warrant arrived at the property in Davis Avenue, Tipton, at around 4:45am on Friday and found quantities of suspected heroin and cocaine.
Some of the haul was tucked away in an ice cream tub in the kitchen along with scales, and other drug dealing paraphernalia. These will go off for forensic analysis before being destroyed.
A 63-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs with intent to supply, and he remained in custody on Friday afternoon as inquiries continue.
Sgt Jason Phillips, of the Sandwell neighbourhood task force team, said: "We're always eager to freeze out those who deal drugs in our communities.
"And anyone who gives us a scoop and lets us know about suspected dealing, is helping us all make the places we live in safer spaces to be."
