POLICE in Fermanagh had a busy weekend past, seizing cars, arresting drink drivers, and uncovering drugs.
A spokesman for Fermanagh and Omagh PSNI said the local District Support Team (DST) had had “a busy few shifts” over the weekend, outlining the various arrests and seizures right across the county.
“The team stopped a vehicle in the Tempo area and following checks it was discovered that there was no valid insurance policy in place,” they said on Monday.
“As a result the vehicle was seized and the driver has been reported to the courts. Unbelievably this is the second time in a matter of weeks DST have had reason to speak to the driver in relation to motoring offences.
“On Friday evening the DST were alerted to a vehicle swerving all over the Killadeas Road. The team located the vehicle inside 5 minutes of it being reported and attempted to stop it but the driver had other ideas.
“After a short pursuit the vehicle safely came to a stop and the driver failed a preliminary breath test. The driver was arrested for several motoring offences including Driving With Excess Alcohol, enquiries are ongoing.
“Yesterday the team were on a proactive patrol in the Teemore area and had reason to stop a male on foot. Following a search DST located a quantity of Class A and Class B Controlled Drugs.
“A follow up search of a near by boat resulted in a further seizure of Class B. The suspect was interviewed and has been reported to the courts.”
