A driver was stopped after an ‘eagle-eyed’ Derbyshire officer spotted a fault with their car – and was arrested after two positive drugs tests.

In the early hours of this morning, the Matlock Safer Neighbourhood Team were undertaking proactive patrols across the town.

In a post, an SNT spokesperson said: “Eagle-eyed PC Hussain spots a vehicle with a headlight out.

“Vehicle stopped, driver smelt of cannabis, vehicle stop-searched, cannabis found – driver tests positive for cannabis and cocaine.”

The driver was arrested by SNT officers and enquiries into the incident are ongoing.
