They found that the man had driven from Stroud to Cirencester to buy and use drugs, while in an uninsured car.
He was arrested by the Cirencester Neighbourhood Police Team and will be given a £200 fine for breaching the lockdown restrictions.
Cotswolds Police tweeted: "The Neighbourhood Police Team found a male acting in an odd manner in Cirencester.
"The male drove from Stroud to buy and use drugs whilst in an uninsured car.
