Inverell police were carrying out mobile random breath and drug testing in the township on Thursday night when they pulled a vehicle over for a random stop in Sweaney St.
The 38-year-old male driver was subjected to a random drug test which police claim returned a positive reading for amphetamines.
A second man, aged 45, was also stopped for a random traffic stop in Byron St on the same night.
Police allege he also provided a positive reading to amphetamine in his system.
“Both men will be issued with future court attendance notices to appear at Inverell Local Court at a later date,” a spokesperson for Inverell police said.
Meanwhile, a 29-year-old Manilla man will also have to appear in court on the same charge after allegedly returning a positive reading to cannabis.
The P-plater was stopped for a random breath and drug test on South St, Manilla, about 12.30pm on Thursday.
If convicted, driving with cannabis, speed, ice or ecstasy in your oral fluid carries a maximum penalty of $1100 in fines and three months off the road.
