A man has been arrested and a large amount of drugs seized after a car was stopped on the M6 near Lancaster this week.
The vehicle was signalled to stop at around 3.30pm on Wednesday and was subsequently searched at the Forton services on the northbound side of the motorway.
Officers found a quantity of what are believed to be class A and class B drugs . These have been sent off for testing.
A large amount of cash was also located in the car.
The driver, a 48-year-old man from Bolton, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.
Ch Insp Matt Willmot, of the Lancashire Roads Policing Unit, said: “A man has been arrested and a quantity of drugs and cash have been seized.
“We hope this sends the message that we do not tolerate this type of criminality and we won’t stop going after anyone we suspect of blighting our communities with drugs.”
