Audi driver found with drug stash

22-year-old Hoda was first seen driving through a red light, in his grey Audi A4. But when officers signalled to him to pull over, he failed to stop and instead, drove off at speed. He was finally stopped after his vehicle was stung by officers. Hoda was arrested and his vehicle was searched with a quantity of Class A drugs being found within the car - as well as being under the influence of drugs while driving through Northampton.

‘Exceptionally dangerous’ driving

Hoda was sentenced to 30 weeks in prison and banned from driving for two years. Lead investigator - Detective Constable Mae Taylor said: “Aleksander Hoda’s driving on that night in November could easily have had fatal consequences. He drove exceptionally dangerously, whilst under the influence, and it is through sheer luck that he didn’t kill or seriously injure anyone.”
