The driver of a car stopped by police in Barnsley had drugs hidden down his sock.
Officers on patrol in Barnsley stopped a car on Westway in the centre of Barnsley.
South Yorkshire Police said the officers had been suspicious and when they carried out checks and searched the three occupants of the vehicle, the driver was found with drugs hidden in his sock.
Two men, aged 22 and 20, and a 19-year-old woman were all arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply.
They have since been bailed.
South Yorkshire Police said: “While out on patrol (February 15), a double crewed response car spotted a vehicle they thought was acting suspiciously on Westway in the centre of Barnsley.
“They promptly asked the vehicle to stop so they could conduct further enquiries.
“Their cop instincts soon proved correct, and after conducting a search under the Misuse of Drugs Act, a quantity of suspected class A drugs was found hidden in the driver’s sock.
“When asked what it was, the driver claimed he didn't know and refused to tell the officers any more information.
“Two men, aged 22 and 20, and a 19-year-old woman were all arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply.”
