A man who was driving around Gloucester without a tyre has been arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol.

Police were called shortly after 10am on Wednesday (November 15) with a report a motorist had been seen driving dangerously, with smoke coming off the vehicle.

Officers attended and located the vehicle in Kingsholm with the motorist in the process of pulling away.

A man in his 30s from Gloucester was arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol and other driving offences.

Following a search of the vehicle a quantity of suspected cocaine was seized, and he was further arrested on suspicion of the possession of class A drugs.

It was soon established that the man had been to a nearby shop, and police dogs who were on training were brought in to do some searches.

Further drugs were found concealed inside the shop and a large quantity of cash was also seized. A second man, also in his 30s and from Gloucester, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A and B drugs. They both remain in police custody.

Investigating officers are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed a black Range Rover being driven in the area or who has dashcam footage which could assist the case.
