Drugs were recovered and eight tickets were issued to drivers during a recent traffic operation in Sidford.

Officers from Devon and Cornwall Police carried out a traffic operation on the A3052 in Sidford on Tuesday, November 26.

Over 100 vehicles were stopped during the operation and eight OSCOS issued (similar to the old style tickets) for offences including speeding and no MOT.

In addition, drugs were found and seized in one incident and one arrest was made in another. Words of advice were issued to a number of other drivers in relation to speed and lights.

Similar operations have been undertaken recently all over East Devon.
