Norfolk and Suffolk Roads and Armed Policing Team arrested the driver on the evening of December 5, 2021 in Great Yarmouth.

The car was spotted overtaking other traffic in a residential area of the seaside town at about 8.45pm.

Officers conducted a speed check and found the vehicle to be travelling at 73mph.

Upon stopping the vehicle, the driver tested positive for cannabis and cocaine.

The driver has since been released under investigation pending further analysis of samples taken by police.

A further person was arrested for drink driving in a separate incident.

She gave a positive breath test while in custody and has since been charged to court where she could face a driving ban.
