POLICE arrested a man after a vehicle they stopped "smelled of cannabis" and he had more than £700 on him.

Officers from the Bradford South Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) made the arrest after stopping a vehicle on Ovington Drive, Holme Wood, last night.

A spokesperson for Bradford South NPT said officers managed to bring the vehicle to a halt after "trying its best to evade" them.

Police said the vehicle "smelled of cannabis" and the man inside was detained and searched.

Officers discovered a large amount of bagged-up cannabis and more than £700 in loose cash.

The man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class B drugs and two phones were seized for examination.

Police interviewed the man and he will be released while the drugs and phones are examined.
