"This test indicated the man had been in contact with an illegal substance and he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. The traffic officer then carried out a thorough search of the car and located a large bag which contained approximately £22,000 in cash and a large quantity of what the officer believed to be cocaine. This was divided into jars. The man was further arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply and later released under investigation."
