Roads Policing Unit (RPU) officers have seized around £100k of drugs following a pursuit on the M25 on 8th November.
Officers from the Bedfordshire, Cambridge & Hertfordshire Roads Policing Unit (Team C South) received intelligence that a vehicle involved in serious and organised crime had entered their area.
When officers caught up with the vehicle on the M25, they signalled for it to stop.
Rather than stopping, the driver of the vehicle accelerated away from the police, and a pursuit ensued.
The pursuit continued for some time before officers used specialist containment tactics to bring the vehicle to a stop.
After the driver was arrested, a search of the car uncovered over £100k of drugs.
Thankfully, no police officers or members of the public were hurt during the incident.

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.
One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.
We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!
As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.
And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.
You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Don’t tell me that the court believed they were for “personal use” and he got a slapped wrist or 2 years inside, suspended for a year.
