It was one of several incidents of note they dealt with that morning.

A man was arrested after a warrant was issued for his arrest when he failed to appear in court.

The team stopped a suspicious vehicle and spoke to the driver.

It soon became clear that the vehicle had no MOT or insurance. The vehicle was seized and the driver was made to do a drug wipe.

They were then arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence of drugs.
