The police this morning discovered a large quantity of Ecstasy pills hidden in a box near the Luxol Grounds. Two men were arrested in connection with the find.

The discovery was made as the police continued their investigations into a case which saw a man crash into two vehicles as he drove off to escape arrest on the site late yesterday.

The sources said that as many as 18,000 pills were found. Forensics experts were on the scene.

Arrests made

The police in a statement said that officers had been monitoring the Luxol grounds yesterday evening when they saw two cars enter the area at speed.

The police intervened and managed to block one of the cars and arrest its driver, but policemen had to shoot at the tyres of the other car as it was driven at the officers.

The car still managed to evade the police roadblock.

The car was found today and its driver was arrested.
