“Four males and a female were arrested after a quantity of drugs believed to be crack cocaine and a number of individual vials containing white powder, believed to be cocaine, were recovered from the vehicle.
“Two occupants were found in possession of lock-back knives.”
Two men aged 24 were held in custody for alleged drug-related offences and possession of knives.
