TWO men were arrested after police uncovered £2000 in cash, a knife and drugs in a car.

Greater Manchester Police traffic officers pulled the silver Mercedes over in Bury Road, Breightmet, overnight because it was speeding.

The search uncovered £2,000 in cash, a lock knife and a bag of cannabis.

Checks carried out by officers also showed that the driver of the car had no insurance.

The driver and the passenger were arrested for money laundering, possession of an offensive weapon, possession of cannabis and driving without insurance.
