A truck driver was arrested in Chesterfield today – failing a drugs test after being stopped by the police.

On Wednesday, February 22, the Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit (DRPU) stopped a recovery truck in Chesterfield after reports that the driver was under the influence of drugs.

A DRPU spokesperson said: “A drug wipe shows positive for cannabis and a search finds a small amount on his person as well.”
