A 41-year-old man has since been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and B drugs.
The suspects remain in custody whilst enquiries continue.
Inspector Jon Ezard said: “These seizures not only mean suspected drugs have been removed from the streets, but also a weapon which had the capability to significantly injure someone if used.
“We are continuing to support local teams across the force area in a bid to reduce knife crime, and other related offences.
“If you know that someone in your local area is carrying a knife or weapon, I urge you to report it to us. Weapons do not protect you and are statistically more likely to be used on yourself. Help us get them off the streets.”
To make a report, call the police on 101, or 999 in an emergency. To remain anonymous, report to the independent charity, Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.
