A Cambridgeshire police spokesman said: “This is a significant seizure which supports our continuing campaign to tackle class A drugs in Cambridgeshire.”

A 36-year-old man from the West Midlands was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs and has been bailed to return to Thorpe Wood Police Station at a later date.
