Two men from Greater London, aged 23 and 29, have been arrested on suspicion of PWITS (Class A) and possession of drugs: they remain in custody.
The 29-year-old has also been arrested on suspicion of driving with excess drugs.

Superintendent Ian Hughes said
These arrests reflect a robust response to a growing concern where people are prepared to supply or use controlled substances that are designed for use by professionals in other settings.
Ketamine is not a harmless party drug – it’s an illegal controlled substance.
Possession can lead to arrest and prosecution, and misuse carries serious health risks.
Our message is clear: don’t take any risks with drug.
