Eight men have been arrested in Worcestershire on suspicion of drug-dealing offences.

West Mercia Police said a grey BMW X3 was stopped near junction 6 of the M5 at about 02:00 GMT on Monday, shortly after a grey BMW M3 was stopped at junction 5.

Both vehicles were found to contain cannabis and officers seized a large amount of cash plus mobile phones, the force said.

The suspects, aged between 23 and 39, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug.

One of them, a 25-year-old man, was also arrested on suspicion of drug and drink-driving.
