A MAN has been arrested after driving a vehicle under the influence of cocaine.

The driver was spotted by police and consequently followed, after driving erratically in Longbridge.

The man realised he was being followed so jumped in the passenger seat and denied he had been driving even though he was alone in the vehicle.

Police checks revealed he was disqualified from driving and was under the influence of cocaine.
