A DRIVER has been arrested after he tested positive for cannabis while he was behind the wheel.

Officers in the Ribble Valley stopped an Audi on Monday evening after they got a whiff of the drug coming from the car.

The man was arrested after he was found in possession of cannabis and subsequently failed a drug test.

A police spokesman said: “It didn’t take a drugs dog to sniff out the cannabis on the driver of the Audi tonight through Whalley.

“Police stopped the vehicle at Clitheroe and searched the driver who thought he could hide it. Cannabis was found on the driver who subsequently failed a drugs test too and was arrested. Another dangerous drugged driver off the roads.”
