A statement released on Twitter said: “Custody was Oxon shift's second home today.”

The third driver police referred to as a ‘drug driver’ was pulled over under ‘Operation Holly’ for not using a seatbelt and being on his pone.

He lied to police about his ID despite being previously arrested by on of the officers. His van was then seized for having no license and the driver was taken to custody.
