Police pull over 'suspicious' VW Golf - and find a haul inside

Drugs and a knife were among a haul recovered by police after stopping a 'suspicious' car being driven through Bolton. Greater Manchester Police says its officers clocked the silver Volkswagen Golf in Tonge Fold yesterday (August 13).

Officers had concerns about the car and pulled it over. After stopping, the person behind the wheel was found to be already disqualified from driving.

But the incident took another twist when police searched the Golf and discovered 'a quantity of drugs'. An image shared by GMP Traffic online shows several small snap bags were seized by officers, alongside two larger bags.
