Officers from the Cedry Wielkie police station stopped a Volkswagen driver for a road check after seeing him drive uncertainly on a road in Cedry Wielkie municipality after 10 p.m. on Tuesday 10 November.[1] The man drove into an intersection and then stopped, as if unsure which way to turn, prompting the road check.[1] The driver was a 28-year-old resident of Pruszcz Gdanski municipality who had no driving licence.[1] During the conversation, he spoke incoherently and behaved nervously.[1] A drug test indicated that the 28-year-old was under the influence of amphetamine and marijuana.[1]
Officers searched the Volkswagen driver and found two packets hidden in a cigarette pack.[1] One packet held a white powder and the other held plant material.[1] Preliminary findings identified the substances as amphetamine and marijuana.[1] Officers detained the man and sent the seized drugs to an expert for further testing.[1] The specialist confirmed the officers’ preliminary findings.[1]
Officers also secured a sample of his blood for analysis of intoxicant content.[1] The gathered evidence allowed officers to charge the detainee with drug possession.[1] A further charge for driving under the influence was not excluded.[1] He will also answer in court for driving despite having no licence.[1] Both possession and driving under the influence carry up to 3 years’ imprisonment.[1] Driving without a licence is an offence punishable by a fine and a court driving ban.[1]
