A man has been arrested on suspicion of drugs, fraud and driving offences.
A Mercedes A150 was seen driving dangerously in Thremnall Avenue, near Stansted Airport, shortly after 1pm yesterday.
It was then in a crash with a Citroen before stopping in the car park of McDonald’s near the airport, where the driver ran off.
He was arrested and a quantity of cash and suspected drugs were found in the Mercedes.
The 29-year-old man, of no fixed address, was arrested on suspicion of possession of drugs with intent to supply, failing to stop after an accident, failing to stop when directed, and possession of articles for use in fraud.
He is currently in custody for questioning.
Witnesses who saw a Mercedes A150 being driven in the area at the time and any drivers with dash cam footage are asked to call Braintree CID on 101.
