Officers arrested a 29-year-old man from South Liverpool on suspicion of possession of the controlled drug with intent to supply after stopping his white van at 5.50pm on Thursday on the A41 New Chester Road, Birkenhead.
The single, white man was taken to a police station on Merseyside for questioning and a number of addresses have been searched.
Wirral Area Commander, Chief Superintendent Jon Ward, said: “Merseyside Police are committed to using the latest ANPR technology to target criminals using roads on Merseyside'.
