Scots cops stop driver allegedly 'in a rush for a wee toke from bag of cannabis'

Four drivers have been stopped by Scots cops in Fife over the weekend - including one who allegedly said he wanted "a wee toke" from a huge bag of cannabis.

Officers huckled the suspects on Friday and Saturday night with three stopped in Kirkcaldy and one apprehended in Kelty.

It is understood they failed roadside drug tests and one driver also appeared to have a bald tyre on his car.

All four have been reported to prosecutors and could be disqualified from driving if convicted.

Police Scotland confirmed the four drivers had been detained and reported for the alleged offences.

The arrests were revealed in two posts on the Fife Police Division Facebook page.

The first read: "Last night #FifeRP arrested these 2 drugged drivers in Kelty & Kirkcaldy; both had recently smoked cannabis.

"If convicted both are likely to be disqualified from driving.

"We are committed to keep Fife's roads safe and will always be looking for more drivers under the influence of drugs.

And the warning seemed to come true, as a later post revealed a further two drivers had been caught for similar alleged offences.

A second post read: " #FifeRP arrested another 2 drugged drivers last night in Kirkcaldy.

"One drawing our attention as he was in a rush for a "wee toke" from this bag of cannabis.

"A check also found a bald tyre. Report to @COPFS."
