Cocaine and cash seized by police in Brighton

Officers followed up on reports that a woman was suspected of drug dealing in Poole Valley in Brighton on Friday (January 11), and city prevention officers detained a 21-year-old suspect from London and searched her.

Sussex Police said the woman had 19 wraps of suspected cocaine and a further 100 wraps of class A drugs and cash were discovered in a hotel room she was staying in.

The woman was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs, police said. She was interviewed and released under investigation.

City prevention enforcement Inspector Nick Dias said: "This was a significant seizure of drugs. We are continually working to make Brighton and Hove a hostile place to deal drugs. We will carry out warrants, proactive and reactive stops acting on intelligence and information we receive.

"We ask anyone who has any information or concerns about drug dealing in the city to contact us."
