A driver was found to have drugs but no insurance after being stopped by officers in a Derbyshire town.

At around 8.50pm yesterday evening, the Derbyshire Road Crime Unit reported that they had spotted a driver “acting suspiciously” in Chapel-en-le-Frith.

The driver then “harshly accelerated” through the town centre before being stopped by officers, and was found to have a bag of cannabis on the passenger seat.

The driver also had no insurance or licence, and so his car and the drugs were seized by the DRCU.
