Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit arrested a person who tested positive for cannabis last night.

A vehicle was stopped and, after a test, the driver tested positive for cannabis and was arrested and a blood sample was obtained and sent for analysis.

In a separate incident, the unit was on patrol when they observed a driver failing to stop at a red traffic light. The driver was stopped and it transpired that they had no insurance. The vehicle was seized and the driver will have to appear at a future court sitting.
