A Police helicopter hovered low over the Burnham-On-Sea area during the early hours of Thursday morning (October 28th) as officers investigated a suspected drug-driving offence.

A Police spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We arrested a 28-year-old male in Warren Road, Brean, in the early hours of this morning on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs (class B).”

“He was subsequently arrested on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle without insurance too.”
