Officers swooped on a blue car in Huntington, near Little Wenlock, on Halloween afternoon to give the driver a scare and a drug swipe.

PCSO Zoe Beven, of the Wellington West & Rural Safer Neighbourhood Team said she hoped the quick action will send out a message.

“Following a call from a member of public and quick action from your local policing team on Thursday 31st October 2024, this blue vehicle's driver has been arrested," she said. 

She said that the driver was arrested after failing a drug swipe test at the road side and being in control of a vehicle.

She added: “Let's hope this will send a message out that we will not accept this where you live and on our policing area.”
