Two women and one man fail drug tests on roadside

THREE drivers will face Warwick Magistrates Court after recording positive drug tests at the weekend.

Warwick police intercepted a 25-year-old woman from New South Wales at 9.37am Saturday and she recorded a positive reading.

Two hours later, a 40-year-old man from New South Wales recorded a positive test for drugs in Fitzroy St.

At 5.25am this morning, a 22-year-old Warwick woman tested positive for drugs while driving in Bisley St.

Sergeant Shane Reid, of Warwick police, said all three had been issued with notices to appear in Warwick Magistrates Court.

“Police are continually seeing drivers with a percentage of drugs in their systems,” he said.

“As training for police officers to administer drug tests is continually rolled out, drug testing will continue. If drivers continue to take illegal drugs and drive a motor vehicle, sooner or later they will be detected.”
