"She was arrested for driving whilst unfit through drugs, driving whilst over the prescribed limit for drugs, possession of cannabis and possession of cocaine [and] taken to Worthing Custody where a specimen of blood was taken and she was interviewed."

PC Van Der Wee said the woman, 'aged in her 30’s [and] from Bognor', has been released under investigation 'to await the results of the blood test'.

In a tweet about the incident, the police officer said it is 'disappointingly' the seventh drug driver he has investigated in January so far.
