A 19-year-old man from Swindon was among three arrests made for drug driving within three hours on Thursday.
The Swindon man was stopped when he seen in his Audi A3 along the A4361 in Broad Hinton. He was also held on suspicion of driving with no insurance.
A 39-year-old man from Devizes was stopped driving a Peugeot 3008 and a 29-year-old man from Melksham was also stopped.
All three have since been released under investigation while further enquiries are carried out.
Sgt Will Ayres said: “Driving whilst under the influence of drugs is one of the main contributing factors of death and serious injury on our roads, and officers will continue to proactively target those suspected of offending.
“Often, individuals arrested for drug driving will have taken the substances the day before but they can remain in your system for hours after consumption.
“These arrests should act as a reminder to everyone that if you are considering taking illegal drugs and then getting into the drivers seat of a vehicle, you are putting yourself, your passengers, other road users and pedestrians at serious risk.
“Alcohol and drugs can create a false confidence which can lead to an increase in risk taking behaviour, putting your life and the lives of others in danger.”
To report suspected drug driving, call 101 or 999 in an emergency.
