A spokesperson for the team said: “Not content with those offences, the driver was also arrested on suspicion of driving without a licence, without insurance and for failing a roadside drugs test for every drug that appears on the test.”
Roadside drugs tests look for a number of illegal substances including cannabis, cocaine and ecstasy.
The passenger was also arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled Class B drug.
“It’s coming home,” the spokesperson added. “Well the Suzuki Alto is, but not the two arrested.”
