A takeaway delivery driver was found to be twice over the drink-drive limit after police carried out a roadside breath test.

Cambridgeshire Police said operators at Fenland CCTV spotted the vehicle leaving Wisbech town centre - and informed police.

It was then intercepted by the neighbourhood policing team on North Street, Wisbech on Wednesday.

The force said the driver was subjected to a roadside breath test "which they failed by blowing 86, the legal limit being 35".

The force said: "They were taken to the police investigation centre tonight, however, during their stay we do not serve takeaway."

The driver will now face a court hearing and a potential driving ban.
