A MOTORIST has tested positive for cannabis after being stopped by police.
Officers from Merseyside Police pulled over a car on Gorsey Lane, between Burtonwood and Clock Face in St Helens yesterday, Wednesday.
This was due to officers on patrol from the force’s Roads Policing Unit spotting the grey BMW three-series being driven over the speed limit.
A roadside test was also carried out, with the driver testing positive for cannabis in his system, leading to his arrest.
The Roads Policing Unit said: “This BMW three-series was stopped for a simple speeding offence on Gorsey Lane.
“As the driver had committed an offence, a roadside drug test was carried out and the driver tested positive for cannabis and was arrested.
“He faces a disqualification if over the limit for THC.”
