Police officers arrested a driver who was "hanging out his window" because his "windscreen was iced up" in a crackdown on anti-social behaviour.

The crackdown was carried out by officers from the Pendle Neighbourhood Policing Team and Task Force as part of “anti-social behaviour awareness week.”

The actions were carried out over the weekend, starting from Friday November 22.

A Colne and West Craven Police spokesperson said: “The results are as follows:

“One drink driving arrest - The driver decided he would drive hanging out the window as his windscreen was iced up, the driver was arrested for driving over the prescribed drink drive limit.

“After blowing over the legal limit in custody, he was charged and released on bail to attend court early next year.

“One S59 warnings for anti-social driving

“Two producers issued, requiring the drivers of vehicles to provide their document or expect their points in the post.

“Twelve stop searches under the Misuse of Drugs Act as a result of stopping a range of vehicles.

“Of these, 10 searches yielded results including possession of drugs, for which passengers were dealt with appropriately. 

“Needless to say, had drivers failed their roadside drug wipes they too would have been arrested.”
