A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of drug supply offences after a stop and search today.

The 21-year-old man, from Southampton, was arrested this morning while officers conducted patrols in Bursledon and stopped the driver.

The police stopped the black Vauxhall on Shop Lane at around 1.30am this morning and engaged with the driver to find his reasons for being in the area.

Officers then searched the man and the vehicle to find a quantity of suspected Class A drugs as well as a quantity of cash. 

These were seized alongside a mobile phone.

A search of an address on Alma Road located further quantities of cash and Class B drugs.

The man remains in custody at this time.
