Officers came across a vehicle being driven by Sulejman Dauti, who hastily sped past them with two passengers inside.
The vehicle was stopped and Sulejman Dauti was searched and found with two mobile phones and £388 in cash. One of the passengers, Mehmet Dauti, was also searched and found with two mobile phones.
The pair were arrested and their phones were reviewed and found to contain messages linking them to dealing cocaine.
