Police stopped the vehicle on Dumas Street and the driver, the 35-year-old woman, was subject to a roadside drug screening test which returned a positive indication to a prescribed drug. She also undertook a roadside alcohol screening test, which returned a negative result.

The woman, who was in breach of her parole conditions, was taken to City Police Station where she underwent oral fluid analysis, which also returned a positive result for a prescribed drug.

The 24-year-old male passenger of the vehicle was in breach of his bail conditions and was also arrested.
