A lorry driver from Morecambe was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs in the South Lakes.
At around 2:25pm yesterday (April 1), Cumbria Police pulled over a HGV on the A590 near Hincaster, as part of their Operation Spotlight.
The driver was subjected to a drugs wipe – which returned a positive result for cannabis.
The 38-year-old from the Morecambe area was arrested on suspicion of drug driving.
He was subsequently released under investigation to allow for time for blood test results.
A spokesperson said: ‘’Driving whilst impaired through drink or drugs is an incredibly dangerous decision which could easily result in innocent people losing their lives.
‘’If you suspect someone of drink or drug driving, contact us today.
‘’Always call 999 in an emergency, including where a crime is in progress.’’
