Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary[1] detained two people on Monkton Street, Ryde, last night (Wednesday).
Police said officers saw a car turning into a no entry road. They spoke to an 18-year-old driver, who was arrested on suspicion of drug driving, following roadside drug wipes/breath tests. A 24-year-old male passenger was searched and police seized a quantity of suspected Class A drugs.
A search of a nearby property also led to police seizing further drugs and paraphernalia.
The man was arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply.
Both men have since been released from custody but remain under investigation.
