A wanted man was finally caught by cops after driving a vehicle on the M4 erratically.

Roads Policing Unit officers assisted their colleagues from Royal Wootton Bassett in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

When the vehicle was stopped it transpired that the driver was wanted by cops in connection with several offences.

The man was also given a drug wipe and was arrested after testing positive for cocaine.

To add further insult to injury the vehicle was also seized by the police, after it had no insurance.

Writing on social media, WiltsSpecOps said: “RPU assisted @RWBassettPolice with a vehicle that had been driving erratically on the M4. The driver turned out to be wanted for several offences, had no insurance and a drug wipe on him, was positive for cocaine. Driver arrested, vehicle seized #seized #RPU.

Under the Road Traffic Act, a person caught driving whilst over the prescribed limit for drugs can result in a minimal driving ban of 12 months, a fine and points on their licence.

Additionally, under the same legislation, police have the power to seize a vehicle if the owner has no insurance.
