Gardaí make arrest for forged documents and another driver tests positive for drugs

Ballyshannon Gardaí seized a car this morning with false/altered douments and bald tyres

Ballyshannon Gardaí seized a car earlier this morning at one of their checkpoints.

All tyres on the car were bald. The NCT, Insurance and tax discs on display were suspected to be false/altered. The driver and two passengers were not wearing their seatbelts. Fixed Charge Penalty Notices will issue and Court proceedings will also follow.

Buncrana Roads Policing Unit arrested a driver outside Letterkenny last night on suspicion of drug driving after they had tested positive for cocaine. Gardaí said: "Do not drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs! Wear your seatbelt!"

An Garda Síochána on Thursday evening launched a Road Education and Safety Project, Operation Nexus.
