At about 6.15pm yesterday (Monday) officers came across the men in Star Road, Eastgate.

The man in the driver’s seat, aged 39, is alleged to have failed to provide a breath test and was arrested on suspicion of obstructing a police officer.

The passenger, a 37-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of breaching Section 5 of the Public Order Act - using threatening, abusive words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

Both men remain in custody at Thorpe Wood Police Station.
