A police officer stuck their arm down a toilet to retrieve a bag filled with heroin and cocaine during a raid in Nottinghamshire.

Police said they searched a house in Beckingham Court, Mansfield, on Sunday afternoon after suspicions were raised that it was linked to drug activity.

After spotting wraps of drugs floating in the toilet, an officer plunged their hand down to the u-bend and fished out a drawstring bag filled with bundles of crack cocaine.

A 32-year-old man and two women, aged 28 and 44, were arrested on suspicion on possessing with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs.

All three were also held on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon in a private place after a knuckleduster was found along with cannabis, cash, multiple phones and weighing scales.
