TENS of thousands of pounds worth of cannabis has been seized from flats and a car in Hove.

Police found huge quantities of the drug in a car they stopped in Grand Avenue on Tuesday morning.

They then found more at an address in Henley Road, and seized unidentified items thought to be drugs from a property in Kings Mews, Hove.

A 56-year-old man from Brighton was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class B (cannabis resin) and possession of a controlled drug of Class A (cocaine). He was in custody yesterday.

The street value of drugs seized is estimated at £80,000.
