POLICE in Worksop have seized a quantity of a Class B drug and made an arrest. 

Officers in the Worksop North Beat Team yesterday (3) made a proactive arrest of a 41-year-old man on Gateford Road. 

He was on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Mamba – a synthetic cannabinoid, that is classed as a dangerous substance. 

Users often experience severe side effects, including extreme drowsiness, loss of coordination, and a “zombie-like” state, which can be alarming to witness and puts them at serious risk of harm.
