A Sheffield police officer declared they had "hit the jackpot" after discovering a hidden stash of suspected Class A drugs during a traffic stop.

Officers from South Yorkshire Police were on mobile patrol on the A57 near Moss Way in Sheffield last week when they spotted a Citroen C3 overtaking another vehicle and continuing at speed.

Police instructed the driver to stop and, after spotting drug-related paraphernalia inside the vehicle, carried out a search.

During the search, an officer discovered a bag of suspected heroin concealed underneath the driver's seat.
