TWO motorists are due in court after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs near Loch Lomond.

Police say a 47-year-old woman was stopped on the A82 near Luss on August 5 at 10.50am.

Officers stopped the vehicle because a check of their records indicated it had no valid MOT certificate, but then detected a smell of cannabis and used a drugs wipe on the driver.

The woman, from the mid Argyll area, was later released on an undertaking to appear at court on a later date.

And in a separate incident on the same day, a 19-year-old man was arrested after police say a positive drugs wipe was recorded when a vehicle was pulled over on the A82 near Arden at around 1.30pm.

He was also released to appear at court at a later date.

Meanwhile, a 58-year-old woman is the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal after a routine vehicle stop on West Clyde Street on Tuesday, August 1 allegedly found that she was driving without insurance.
