Police arrested a woman at a car park near Staunton Harold Reservoir after she failed a drugs test.

Officers were called to the South Derbyshire beauty spot near Ashby after reports of anti-social behaviour.

The woman was searched for drugs before failing to pass the subsequent test.

The arrest took place last Friday, but Melbourne and Mercia Safer Neighbourhood team say that there have been a number of problems in car parks in the area.

They posted a message on Facebook which reads: "To most of us a car park is a place used for the purpose of parking motor vehicles.

"Sometimes this means manoeuvring in and out of an available space.

"Naturally, car parks should only be entered when they are open for public use.

"Sadly, some people in the

Melbourne and Mercia area have decided to use car parks for other, less honourable purposes.

"In the last week, police have attended several incidents at car parks at Staunton Harold Reservoir, when they were closed to the public.

"These imprudent activities have included reports of large groups setting off fireworks; young persons engaged in anti-social behaviour; and other inappropriate after-dark activities.

"In response, Safer Neighbourhood Team officers, including Sgt Pegg and our Bob, have been conducting regular patrols at car parks located near the reservoir.

"On Friday, November 20, officers attended a car park following reports of antisocial behaviour.

"A vehicle was stopped and an adult female driver of the car was searched for drugs.

"The driver was also tested for drugs at the scene, which she failed, resulting in her arrest and transportation to custody.

"Please remember car parks are there for a specific purpose. When they're closed, keep away."
