Northumbria Police seized a number of illicit items during stop and searches in Blyth last week.

The seizures, part of the force’s ‘neighbourhood week of action’, also led to the arrest of two people.

So far, a 51-year-old female has been reported for possession of Class C drugs and a 24-year-old male has been reported for possession of cannabis following the stop and searches.
