A car was stopped on the M6 motorway after the occupants were caught on CCTV inhaling nitrous oxide from balloons.
On the morning of Wednesday, May 8, Lancashire Road Police posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) that the car was stopped at Forton Services, a motorway service station between junctions 32 and 33 of the M6 motorway at Lancaster.
The occupants were caught on CCTV inhaling nitrous oxide from balloons.
23 bottles of the gas were seized, as was the car itself.
The occupants were all 'dealt with' for drug offences, as possession is a criminal offence.
