A 27-year-old man has been arrested after large quantity of drugs were found in the armrest following a pursuit and foot chase.
Officers were called to Curzon Street in St Ann’s at around 11.50am when they sighted a driver on his mobile phone, who then jumped a red light.
The incident occurred on May 21, when the driver failed to stop at Curzon Place.
He then proceeded to run off, but he was detained shortly after.
