Garda warning as two arrested for drug-driving

Two motorists in Donegal were arrested in Donegal on Friday for suspected drug-driving – one of whom was not insured.

Gardai across the county carried out a series of 'Roads Policing Day of Action' checkpoints.

Officers in the Ballyshannon District arrested a driver for driving under the influence of drugs.

The driver had no insurance and their vehicle was seized.

Gardai have said that court proceedings will follow.

Gardai in the Buncrana District also arrested a motorist on suspicion of driving under the influence of cocaine.

“Do not take unnecessary risks on the roads this Bank Holiday weekend or ever,” a Garda spokesperson said.

“Save lives by making responsible decisions.

“Never drive while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.”
