Police Scotland have confirmed that there was a “seasonal spike” in the number of drink driving offences over the festive period. 

The Royal Navy and Border Force have seized a tugboat that was believed to be smuggling cocaine into the country.

A Government report has revealed data that suggests there is no obvious link between tough laws on personal possession and levels of illegal drug use.

The 2014 Summer Drink Drive campaign has been launched by Police Scotland and the Crown Office & Procurator Fiscal Service, supported by Scottish Government and Road Safety Scotland.
