After stopping cars for lights out, excess speeds and an expired MOT, drivers have been found to be drug-driving, wanted after failing to attend court and carrying knives.
Elsewhere, a Toyota Yaris was stopped in Preston carrying seven people – one trying to hide in the boot with a bag over his head, and a scooter driver was reported after undertaking an unmarked police car.
