Detective Inspector Dave Knight of South Worcestershire CID said: “This was a great result for OPU to stop these cars and make eight arrests, following good intelligence work by officers.

“The men in custody are suspected of bringing drugs into south Worcestershire to sell on which we know causes harm on the communities we are here to protect and serve.
