A 36-year-old man has been arrested after 19 wraps of cocaine were found during a strip search.

Thames Valley Police (TVP) said a vehicle believed to have been involved in drug dealing had been stopped at traffic lights on Milton Hill, in Oxfordshire, near Truck Festival, on Friday.

A post on social media said, despite nothing initially being located: "Our spidey senses were working overtime and we remained convinced there was more to this story."

The suspect was then taken to Abingdon police station where the drugs were found.
