West Midlands Police officers in Brierley Hill, Dudley, pulled over a red Ford Puma after it was spotted swerving all over the roads. 

However, the intoxicated driver swapped seats with their passenger in an attempt to fool the approaching officer. 

But the passenger wasn't sober either - leading to both of them being arrested on suspicion of drink driving.
