Arrested: Samuel Cole
Police stated that at about 21:45 hrs on the day in question, detectives and other police ranks were on mobile patrol duty, and whilst driving along Aubrey Barker Road, between Penny Lane and Festival City entrance, they intercepted a white Toyota Axio motorcar bearing registration number PAC 4181.
The vehicle at the time was being driven by 22-year-old Samuel Cole. In fact, he was the only occupant in the vehicle during the interception. A search was carried out on his person, but nothing unlawful was found.
