Heiligenstadt police stopped two vehicle drivers in the Friday morning hours after suspicion of drug-impaired driving, issuing bans on further driving. The first stop came at around 11:00. Officers checked a 54-year-old Renault driver in Heiligenstadt and found he was not in possession of a valid driving licence and was under the influence of narcotics. A court-usable blood sample was ordered to determine the drug use, and the driver was not allowed to continue. About an hour later, around 12:00, officers stopped a 40-year-old Seat driver. Police again raised the suspicion that the man was driving under the influence of intoxicating substances. A blood sample was also ordered for drug testing, and further driving was prohibited. According to the Thüringer Polizei Landespolizeiinspektion Nordhausen police report from the Eichsfeld Police Inspectorate, the further investigation depends on the results of the blood tests.
