A vehicle, which had male occupants inside believed to be from Swindon, was seized in an Oxfordshire village after police found the driver had no insurance or licence.
The Thames Valley Police Rural Taskforce Team stopped the VW Golf on White Horse Hill in Uffington, a village around six miles west of Wantage.
PCs Dollery and Jenkin stopped the vehicle on Tuesday, September 3 and found the driver only held a provisional licence and had no insurance.
The team also found cannabis, which was seized, and the males were detained under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
