Two people were arrested after police carried out drugs tests on drinkers at an Oxford pub on Friday.

The police drugs itemiser was used outside The Blackbird Pub in Blackbird Leys.

Around 80 drinkers passed through the itemiser - which takes swabs from people's hands and tests the results for drugs - between 6.30pm and 10.30pm.

Officers arrested a man in his 50s for possession of cocaine and a second man for a public order offence.

It was the first time the drugs itemiser has been used in Blackbird Leys and police hailed the operation a success - adding it would be used again in the future.
