Catching criminals on the run and seizing 47 wraps of suspected cocaine - that could have led to 150 drug deals - were all part of the first week in March for police in St Neots.
Neighbourhood officers firstly stopped a man who had fled the country on his return to the UK.
“We received information that a wanted male who had fled the country was returning so gladly welcomed him back giving him priority off the plane and a free ride in our police van straight to Cambridge custody cells,” a post on Policing Huntingdonshire read.
Then on Friday police stopped a man and seized 47 wraps of suspected cocaine.
These wraps were subdivided into three further deals making around 150 deals.
The man had attempted to run off through Priory Park when police dogs came to the rescue.
He was arrested for possession with intent to supply Class A, possession of an offensive weapon, obstruct a s23 misuse of drug search and assault an emergency worker.
