A driver was charged with possessing drugs after he was stopped while driving with a burst tyre.

Paul McCullough, of Colchester Road, Edgware, London, was pulled over in the early hours of yesterday, January 25, in Colney Road, Northfleet.

Inquiries by police revealed the 41-year-old did not own the car and did not have insurance.

Due to the smell of cannabis coming from the vehicle, officers searched it and found bags of the drug and cash.

Mr McCullough was arrested and has now been charged with two counts of possession of class B drugs and driving without insurance.

Officers are continuing to investigate further driving offences and McCullough has been remanded in custody.
