Illicit substances moving through traffic control zones

In a recent incident in Hamborn, a 21-year-old driver was arrested for allegedly breaking traffic rules and driving under the influence of drugs. The individual was behind the wheel of a Golf when officers stopped him for not adhering to the speed limit in a traffic-calmed zone and for overtaking a stationary vehicle without due consideration.

Upon stopping the vehicle, the officers checked the 21-year-old's ID and noticed his nervousness and red, watery eyes. A field sobriety test and a voluntary drug test were conducted, and the results confirmed that the young man had cannabis in his system.

The police are reminding everyone of the importance of consideration and adherence to rules in traffic, especially in traffic-calmed areas designed to protect pedestrians and children. With the new school year starting next week, it's crucial to be mindful of children on the roads.

The 21-year-old was taken to Hamborn station and prohibited from continuing his journey. It's worth noting that the arrest at the scene of the incident is not related to any specific charges mentioned against the 21-year-old in connection with a stabbing incident on Luise-Hensel-Straße/Horster Straße.

The police encourage everyone to ensure everyone reaches their destination safely. For more information on safe school routes, please visit ourwebsite.nrw/onschoolroute. An attentive mother's actions helped avoid an accident in this incident.
