Officers made a routine traffic stop on a vehicle in Valence Avenue yesterday but the driver and two passengers tried to run.
One suspect was seen to throw something away, which was later found to be about 135 wraps of substances that appeared to be heroin and crack cocaine.
Two of the vehicle’s occupants were caught and arrested for possession of an illegal substance with intent to supply and taken to an east London police station.
One suspect bit an officer’s upper arm while resisting arrest. The police officer later visited a hospital as a precaution.
