Oxfordshire police found a large quantity of cannabis in a food delivery bag after stopping a moped rider over the weekend. 

The rider was initially stopped and arrested in Oxford for contravening a keep left arrow. 

However, police then found the drugs, so he was further arrested. 

This was after police issued traffic offence reports in Banbury and stopped a van driver in Kidlington.

In a Facebook post on TVP Roads Policing, they said: “Whilst on patrol in Banbury this morning two traffic offence reports issued, one for no seatbelt and one for using a mobile phone.
