Hello

Two people have been arrested in Newcastle-under-Lyme after we found monkey dust and heroin.

Officers stopped a car with a man and a woman inside in Kidsgrove in the early hours this morning (Thursday 10 April). Both of them were searched.

We found small bags of brown powder suspected to be heroin, along with monkey dust.

A further search at custody found more monkey dust. 

A 48-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman, from Newcastle-under-Lyme, have been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply heroin.

We’re continuing to work proactively across Staffordshire to target those committing high-harm offences in our communities.
