Police hopeful of catching drug drivers with ‘drugalyser’ roll out

STV News met the local force to see how the tests work.

Police say drug drivers are more likely to be caught with the rollout of roadside testing kits.

The devices – dubbed ‘drugalysers’ – were introduced for specialist officers across Scotland in 2019 but, under a new trial, all community officers in East Ayrshire will now carry the kits.

It comes after a successful six-month pilot in Shetland.
