“While on our way back to the station after assisting our Neighbourhood Support Team to carry out a successful warrant, we called into Walton McDonalds for a caffeine fix when we had a tip-off that the occupants of a car in the drive-through were smoking cannabis.

“We spoke with both the driver and passenger, when the passenger handed over a spliff and admitted there was a bit more cannabis in the car – relevant offences have been dealt with.”
