A 55-year-old local man has been arrested for drink driving.

The arrest was made after Dorchester police received some community intelligence about a regular drink driver in Cerne Abbas.

Officers patrolled the area and located the vehicle. The driver was arrested after providing a positive road side breath test. He was also further arrested for possession of class B drugs.

A spokesman for Dorchester police said: "The male will be dealt with in court in due course for driving whilst over the prescribed alcohol limit.

"He has been given an out of court disposal for the possession of class B drugs."

Dorchester police is asking anyone who has any information about a drink or drug driver to let them know by calling 101, emailing [email protected] or report it at dorset.police.uk/do-it-online
