Police officers stopped a vehicle in Grays at about 2pm on Tuesday, 24 May and a search of the vehicle produced a quantity of what officers believed to be Class A drugs.

The arrests led to the serach of a property where police uncovered a further quantity of drugs with an estimated value of £400,000.
