A Ford Fiesta, which has been linked to the supply of Class A drugs in the town, was spotted and boxed in by officers from the Derbyshire Road Crime Unit, the North Derbyshire Serious Organised Crime Unit and the Derbyshire Armed Response Unit, on Sunday morning.

In a tweet, an officer from the road crime unit said: “Driver immediately throws wraps of suspected drugs into his mouth risking his own life and the livelihood of the officers. Selfish.”
