A Jaguar driver has been arrested after blowing almost FIVE times the legal drink drive limit.
At 10am on Wednesday, police stopped the red Jaguar leaving Burnley as they suspected something was not quite right with the motorist's driving.
After asking him to take a breath test, officers were shocked and disgusted to fine he blew 161 - almost five times the legal limit of 35.
He was duly arrested and will appear in court where officers say he will most probably have his licence removed.
A spokesperson for the police said: "Lancs Tac Ops officers stopped this Jag as it was leaving Burnley at 10am.
"Incredibly and disgracefully he blew 161.
"Male arrested and will now be attending court to rightly have his licence removed.
"Don't drink and drive."
