Man, 32, arrested following proactive stop in Aldershot

A driver has been arrested after a police dog indicated he was in possession of drugs following a proactive stop in Aldershot in the early hours of this morning.

Officers were on patrol when they noticed suspicious activity linked to a silver Ford car on North Lane and then Ordnance Road at around 12.30am on Monday 15 June.

The driver was stopped and due to suspicious circumstances at the scene, he took a drugs wipe test, which was positive for cocaine.

Police Dog Major then searched the car and indicated that the driver was in possession of drugs. Suspected Class A drugs were then found hidden in a sock.

All items, including £210 in cash, were seized. The car was also seized because it was not insured. 

A 32-year-old man from Winchester has been arrested on suspicion of:

• Being concerned in the supply of a Class A drug
• Driving a vehicle with a proportion of a specified controlled drug above the specified limit

He remains in custody while our enquiries continue.
