A metal baseball bat was also recovered.
A 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possessing cannabis with intent to supply.
Detective Sergeant Richard Kinsey said: “This was a fantastic example of officers denying suspected criminals the use of our road network, and the results that come from having proactive and dedicated police teams.
“A very large quantity of illegal drugs have now been taken off the streets and a suspect is now in custody.
