Officers seized a large quantity of cannabis, a significant sum of cash and a valuable Rolex watch stopping a car in Worthing.

“Inside, police found a large quantity of cannabis, a significant sum of cash, and the Rolex watch worth tens of thousands of pounds.
“The drugs, cash and items were seized as part of the investigation.
“Sussex Police can confirm that the driver of the Twingo, a 32-year-old man, from Littlehampton, was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of cannabis.
