Cleveland Police made the discovery while searching a garage in Hartlepool last Friday.

Inside they found a massive stash of amphetamines with a street value of £180,000.
A search warrant was executed at a house on the town’s Irvine Road at 7.45am where officers found thousands of pounds in cash and an amount of suspected Class B drugs.Further inquiries led them to search a garage block near Innes Road in the town where they made the huge find.
Sergeant John Hemsworth, of Hartlepool District Drugs Unit, said: “This was a substantial recovery of what we believe to be amphetamines which would have been destined for the streets of Hartlepool and further afield.“Residents can be assured that we will always act on any information from the public about the use and supply of drugs.”A 40-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman were arrested and have since been bailed while inquiries continue.
