Police Have Arrested 95 People For Drink Driving
“It is always disappointing to find there are still motorists out there who think it is acceptable to drive while under the influence.”
MORE than 300 drivers were breath tested in Huntingdon on Friday (December 17) as part of the ongoing drink-drive campaign.
So far, 95 people have been arrested as part of the Cambridgeshire campaign which will run throughout December.
PC Tony Barrios, casualty reduction officer, said: �We are stopping and breathalysing more motorists than ever before as part of our campaign and it is inevitable that we will see an increase in the number of arrests.
