A post on the GMP Oldham Central Facebook page read: "Over the weekend, PC Battye from the Waterhead Neighbourhood team has been targeting drug drivers in the Moorside area of Oldham.

"This has resulted in two drivers being arrested on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle on a road whilst over the specified drug limit.

"Apart from that, another vehicle was seized due to the driver having no licence, no insurance and no M.O.T.
