A driver who crashed his vehicle into three parked cars has been given a three-year driving ban.

George Brown, 38, of Pullman Drive, Salisbury, was sentenced at Salisbury Magistrates Court on September 5 to a 12-month community order and three-year disqualification after pleading guilty to drug driving.

On February 16, officers attended a report of a collision in Moyne Gardens. Brown was driving a Ford Transit in which he had crashed into three parked cars before stopping in some bushes and taking out wooden fencing.

A roadside drugs wipe test was carried out, which was positive for cocaine and cannabis.
