Birmingham construction worker disqualified from driving after entering Cambridgeshire RAF base high on cannabis
He also had no insurance and only a provisional licence
A construction worker has been disqualified from driving after he was arrested on suspicion of drug driving as he entered a Cambridgeshire RAF base.
Kane Cole, 31, was stopped as he drove into RAF Molesworth, near Huntingdon, in a Volkswagen Caddy van at about 8am on 25 March.
He was working there for a contractor on a construction project, but security staff called police after becoming concerned about his fitness to drive.
Cole failed a drugs wipe for cannabis and was arrested. He also had no insurance and only a provisional licence.
Cole, of Ash Crescent, Birmingham, pleaded guilty to drug driving at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (10 July) and was disqualified from driving for 14 months and fined £1000.
PC Sam Thompson, who investigated, said: “I would like to thank RAF Molesworth for reporting Cole, as it meant we could stop him driving any further under the influence.”
