Police investigating the sale of fake Viagra on the internet have seized thousands of tablets in Colchester.

A team of officers found 900 boxes of pills, worth £60,000, after they stopped a car in Stanway.

It is believed the tablets are fake Viagra but tests will be carried out. Two men were arrested.

The joint operation with the Government's medicines regulator followed an investigation into sales of counterfeit impotence drugs on the internet.

The suspects, aged 38 and 54, who are not from Essex, were later released on bail until February while more inquiries are carried out.
