A SUSPECTED drug dealer has been arrested in Alexandria after drugs were reportedly found in his car.

West Dunbartonshire Police say the 25-year-old was stopped on Main Street and charged with being in possession of class A drugs with intent to supply them to others.

Police reportedly recovered drugs, money and a mobile phone during the search.

The man is expected to appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on a future date in connection with the alleged offences.

A spokesperson from Argyll and West Dunbartonshire Police said:  "Drugs and drugs-related crime have a huge negative impact on our communities.

"This proactive work disrupts the supply chain and sends a strong message that we will continue to target those involved."
