Three men were arrested last night in Hackney after the car they were in was found to contain cash and drugs.

Officers from Operation Trident, a specialist gang crime unit, stopped a vehicle carrying three men in Clarence Road at around 9pm on August 2.

They found a large quantity of drugs and cash inside the vehicle and arrested the occupants, aged 20, 40 and 41, on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

All three men are in custody at a north London police station.

Trident Gang Crime Command officers are investigating.
