Police have arrested two males on suspicion of drugs offences in Bury St Edmunds.

It follows an incident in the town on Wednesday, September 25, on Risbygate Street, where officers arrested the males under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

Officers searched the vehicle they were travelling in at the time and recovered a large quantity of cash, several mobile phones and a quantity of what is believed to be class A drugs.
