Another arrest was made by Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit on Wednesday after a driver was caught speeding and subsequently tested positive for cocaine.

 

Gardai say that court proceedings will follow.

 

They are also warning that their mobility app can confirm in a matter of seconds if a vehicle has insurance or not and it is updated daily with information from all insurance providers.
