A suspected drink driver was stopped by an unmarked police car for “drawing attention to himself.”
Road Policing Units were conducting patrols of Trowbridge in an unmarked vehicle on the night of Tuesday, July 25, when the driver of a Mitsubishi Shogun attracted their attention.
Officers stopped the motorist and found him to be over the drink drive limit after a roadside breathalyser test.
Checks also confirmed that he was already banned from the roads and had no insurance to be driving the vehicle.
He was then arrested for the offences.
In a tweet from the Wiltshire Specialist Operations page, which updates the public on the activities of Road Policing Unit, a spokesperson said: “Another for the Road Policing Unit’s unmarked Fleet ten tonight, this time in Trowbridge.
“The driver of this Mitsubishi Shogun drawing attention to himself was stopped. Officers found the driver to be disqualified, have no insurance and over the drink drive limit.”
