POLICE caught a drug-driver, and drink-driver who only had a provisional licence, over the weekend.
Officers from the Windhill and Wrose unit - which is part of the Shipley Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) - dealt with two separate jobs involving vehicles in the area last night.
Checks were conducted on a black Citroen that the team spotted and it showed the driver did not have valid insurance.
A roadside drugs test was also undertaken and the driver tested positive.
They were arrested and the car was seized.
A spokesperson for the team said yesterday: "This evening whilst on pro-active patrols, officers from the Windhill and Wrose team sighted the below vehicle, checks conducted showed the driver did not hold a valid policy of insurance.
"The driver tested positive on a roadside drugs test.
"The driver was arrested and the vehicle seized.
"A file will be prepared for court."
Officers from the Windhill and Wrose team also spotted a vehicle being driven in "a dangerous manner" that same evening.
The vehicle was pulled over and the driver provided a positive result on a roadside breathalyser.
They were arrested for driving while over the prescribed limit.
Police also discovered the driver only had a provisional licence and had no insurance.
The vehicle was seized and the driver was reported for those offences, alongside their arrest.
