On September 21, a 31-year-old Ayr man was charged with assaulting a police officer stationed at Ayr.
Two Ayr motorists were issued Notices to Appear in Court after testing positive to methamphetamine and cannabis in separate drug driving incidents. A 25-year-old man, intercepted on September 20, also allegedly had methamphetamine and drug utensils located during a police search. A 31-year-old woman was also intercepted on the same date and tested positive to the same substances.
