Four men have been arrested in Bristol after a large amount of class A drugs were seized from a vehicle.

Three men, all in their 30s and from Bristol, and a man in his 40s from Newport, were arrested in connection with drugs supply offences after their vehicle was stopped on the M32 on Thursday.

Detective Chief Inspector Simon Dewfall said: “This was a significant seizure of class A drugs, which had an estimated street value of half a million pounds.

“We believe they were destined for the local drugs market.

“These successful arrests have further helped to disrupt harmful supply across the South West.”
