Cannabis worth up to £90,000 and £6,000 in cash was discovered in a blue BMW after a member of the public reported suspicious activity around the car.

Police were called to check out the car at Le Squez on Tuesday around 18:00 following the report.

They spoke to both of the car's occupants when they arrived, but one ran off.

Police then searched the car, in turn uncovering the substantial stash of the Class B drug.
