Seven police vehicles, including a dog unit, swarmed a stretch of Earlham Road, opposite the Black Horse pub, at midday on November 19.

A man in his 30s, who was driving a silver Lexus, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and drug driving.

He was interviewed at Wymondham Police Investigation Centre and bailed until February 23, but will face no further action for drug driving.

Officers searched the vehicle's boot, pulling out a range of items, including a foldable pushchair, a bundle of bags for life and what appeared to be a super soaker.

A dog handler was then called in to secure a black Staffy that had been barking in the car's back seat, using a catch pole.

The animal was taken to police approved kennels and later picked up by the owner.

A woman, in her 30s, was also arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs at the scene.

She was interviewed at Wymondham Police Investigation Centre before being bailed until February 23.

A police spokeswoman has since confirmed that both the man and the woman have been "released under investigation".
