The car was signalled to pull over and the driver of the car was spoken to. Officers noted a strong smell of cannabis as they spoke with the driver and a search of the car was conducted.

A bag containing suspected cannabis was handed over and the man, aged 25, was arrested on suspicion of possession of a class B drug and driving when unfit through drink or drugs. He has since been released on bail to allow for further enquiries to be conducted.
