Christmas crackdown sees drivers arrested and another reported within hours in Falkirk

Two drivers have been arrested and another reported to the Procurator Fiscal as part of a Christmas crackdown on motorists in Falkirk.

Officers first stopped a car on the M9 at Cadgers Brae in Grangemouth close to Junction 5, where they found a vehicle had pulled over onto the hard shoulder.

The male inside was found to be under the influence and arrested at the scene.

A man was later arrested in the Bonnybridge area after his car was stopped and found to have been a disqualified driver and therefore also uninsured.
