Two suspects have fled after police discovered 81 bags of cocaine inside an uninsured car in south Leeds.
West Yorkshire Police officers attended Thorpe Grove, Middleton, after a Kia Carens was found abandoned with no insurance.
Inside the vehicle they found 81 bags of cocaine and an illegally adapted pedal cycle.
The two male suspects, who are understood to have ran from the car, also left behind their mobile phone.
In a light hearted post on Facebook, police joked that sometimes people “make our jobs far too easy.”
The Force said: “Between the drugs, the phone, the car and the bike, they’ve given us plenty to work with. We appreciate the assist, gentlemen - we’ll be in touch shortly.”
