A driver has been arrested with an alleged “full house of offences”.

The driver of the white VW Polo was pulled over for a “simple stop” by Wiltshire Police in Swindon.

But it “snowballed” with the police finding a number of other issues, including a positive drug test for cannabis, resulting in “one in the cells”.

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: “Simple stop in Swindon snowballed into an almost-full house of document offences and a positive wipe for Cannabis. One in the cells.”

Meanwhile, another car was pulled over in Chippenham for not having insurance. The police showed “some discretion” due to there being children in the car on a cold night.

They let the driver avoid a vehicle seizure by getting insurance at the roadside, while still receiving a ticket.
