A man has been arrested on suspicion of seven different offences after police stopped a car near Thirsk.
Officers became aware of a VW Golf in suspicious circumstances travelling through the county on the evening of Saturday.
They followed the vehicle, and it stopped at 5.55pm in Topcliffe, near Thirsk.
Due to a strong smell of cannabis in the car, a drugs wipe was conducted on the driver, which tested positive for cocaine and cannabis.
The vehicle was searched, and officers located suspected class A and B drugs, as well as a number of bank cards.
As a result, the driver, a 25-year-old Harrogate man, was arrested on suspicion of drug driving, driving without insurance, driving without a licence, possession of a class A drug, possession of a class B drug, theft of a motor vehicle, and theft.
Later the same day, he was released under investigation, while enquiries continue.
