Two men have been arrested after Oldham police seized drugs hidden inside a deodorant cannister.
Officers spotted a woman approaching a parked Volkswagen Golf with two occupants inside.
On inspection and testing, the vehicle and its occupants were identified as being reportedly involved in the supply of illegal drugs.
Police reported finding a small amount of cannabis and hidden in the vehicle were 100 wraps of heroin and cocaine – concealed within Lynx fragrance deodorant and WD-40 cannisters.
These were seized, along with three mobile phones and hundreds of pounds.
Two men (both 22) have been arrested on suspicion of selling class A drugs. Both men have been bailed pending further enquiries.
The vehicle was seized for having no insurance.
PC Patel, from GMP’s Operation Venture, said: “Once again this job highlights how effective our proactive patrols are in clamping down on those intent on committing crime.
“We all know drugs have a devastating impact on society. As suspected criminals look to find ways to conceal their wrongdoings from us, we are also adapting and evolving to ensure we stay one step ahead of them, and we will catch them out.
“We’d like to encourage the public to continue to submit intelligence as we do act on it and use it when we can.
