Untaxed car leads to drug‑driving arrest in Letterkenny

A motorist was arrested on suspicion of drug driving after testing positive for cocaine in Letterkenny last night.

Members of the Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit stopped the vehicle when the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system flagged it as untaxed. Gardaí then discovered the driver also had no insurance.

Subsequent roadside testing showed the driver had cocaine in their system, leading to an arrest on suspicion of drug driving.

Gardaí used the incident to issue a reminder on social media, urging the public never to drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol and to avoid any risks to road safety.
