Newcastle taxi driver arrested in £1m cocaine find A MAN has been arrested after cocaine with a street value of £1m was found in a taxi in Newcastle city centre. Officers stopped and searched a Skoda Superb taxi in Westmorland Road, Newcastle, and uncovered around four kilos of the drug. The driver of the taxi was arrested and the cab seized after the discovery, made at around 4.30pm on Thursday.
