A drug-driver has been banned from driving and ordered to pay more than £450.

Patrick Siyanga, 28, was arrested on the A120 near Rayne on Saturday, March 10, after failing a roadside drug test.

Blood samples showed he had cannabis in his bloodstream.

He admitted a charge of drug-driving at Colchester Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Tuesday) where he was given a 12-month driving ban.

Siyanga, of Kingswood Estate in Dulwich, London, was also fined £334 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £33 victim surcharge.
