West Yorkshire Police arrest more than 70 drivers in annual campaign

Among those arrested last week was a driver stopped during a joint operation with North Yorkshire Police at Boston Spa.

The motorist had been spotted towing a trailer in the outside lane of the M1. After being stopped, he tested positive for cannabis.

Another driver was stopped in Harehills, Leeds, on Boxing Day. He also tested positive for cannabis.

As he had no insurance his vehicle was seized by officers, a force spokesperson said.
