Local Gardaí stopped the driver of a vehicle over the weekend and conducted a roadside drugs test.

Gardaí confirmed the man was arrested at the scene and has since been released pending the results of tests.

Both motorists are now set to face court proceedings.

Gardaí made arrests in Leitrim and Longford over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.

The motorist subsequently tested positive for cocaine in a road side test and also had a child in the front passenger seat.

He was arrested and the car seized, with a court date to follow.

The car was pulled over last weekend by Roscommon Roads Policing Unit.

The car was found to be travelling at 96km per hour in a 50km per hour zone.
