A MAN has been arrested in Acocks Green during a Project Guardian operation.
The 41-year-old was stopped and searched by West Midlands Police on February 23.
The force said: “Officers found a large amount of crack cocaine, mobile phones believed to be linked to drug dealing, cash, and a taser. Further searches were carried out at an address where drug dealing bags, scales and a flick knife were seized.”
He was arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply and possession of an offensive weapon.
He has since been bailed pending further enquiries.
