FIVE North Yorkshire people were being quizzed by police today after £1.5 million of drugs were found in a dramatic police swoop.
Officers from Scarborough police last night uncovered cannabis with a street value of £1 million when they stopped a car on the A170 Scarborough to Thirsk road. The two occupants were arrested.
In a co-ordinated move with police in the South of England, two other vehicles were stopped and a further £500,000 of cannabis seized and three people arrested. All five people arrested - four men and one woman - are from the Scarborough area.
