A reckless attempt to evade justice turned chaotic as Road Crime Team officers arrested a suspected drug dealer following a high-speed pursuit through Oldbury, culminating in the recovery of hurled cash, narcotics, and a mobile phone.
The incident unfolded when police spotted a suspicious vehicle, which promptly fled, igniting a dramatic chase. During the pursuit, the driver lobbed a substantial sum of cash from the window in a futile effort to discard evidence. The vehicle eventually halted, leading to the driver’s swift arrest.
Officers scoured the route, retrieving the scattered cash, a discarded mobile phone, and a quantity of illegal drugs. The suspect now faces charges including drug trafficking, evading arrest, and evidence tampering.
“This arrest highlights our relentless focus on dismantling criminal networks,” a Road Crime Team spokesperson declared. “Tossing cash won’t save you—we’ll always recover the evidence and hold offenders accountable.”
Authorities are investigating the source of the seized items and potential connections to broader drug operations. Community members are urged to report suspicious activity to aid ongoing efforts in combating street crime.
