The driver was stopped at Hilton Services on the M6 by officers from Staffordshire Police Road Crime Team after the vehicle was suspected of being a clone.

Checks on the car showed it was not a clone, but the driver was ordered to take a drug test after cannabis residue was discovered in the car.

The test, which used a drug wipe, tested positive for Cannabis and Cocaine and saw the driver subsequently arrested.
