South Wales Police say they've made their biggest seizure of crystal meth to date.

Detectives recovered a haul of suspected drugs - including ketamine, cocaine and ecstasy - from a car in the Butetown area of Cardiff Bay last Wednesday.

The driver - a 56 year-old man from Somerset - was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in supplying Class A drugs.

A police spokesperson said: "We have a zero-tolerance approach to drug dealing and this incident in Overstone Court on Wednesday afternoon is just one example of work we are doing across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan."

The drugs were seized for analysis.
