A SUBSTANTIAL amount of drugs were found in an "abandoned" van when police attempted to move the vehicle.

Officers in the Bradford West area had received reports of a vehicle that had been abandoned for over a month.

There had also been reports of two men regularly coming and going to the van.

Police found that the vehicle was not registered, and when officers got in the vehicle to move it on Friday, they found a large amount of cannabis that was bagged and "dealer ready."

Officers also found what they described as a "substantial" amount of Class A drugs in the van.

The drugs and van were seized.
