A driver who blew more than three times the legal limit was among those arrested during a drink drive operation this weekend.
North Yorkshire Police say they targeted offenders in several locations around the county on Saturday night.
Results include:
- A driver taken into custody after initially failing to stop for police in Scarborough. The car is believed to have been taken without the owner’s consent. The driver was arrested on suspicion of taking without owner’s consent and drink driving at more than twice the limit.
- A man who is believed to have been drinking all day was seen driving home from Seamer station towards Scarborough when he was stopped by police. He was arrested and charged with drink driving after blowing more than three times the limit. He will appear in court shortly.
- A driver seen leaving a pub car park in Wykeham, between Pickering and Scarborough, was stopped. He said he couldn’t get a taxi so had decided to drive. He was arrested and charged with being around one-and-a-half times the legal limit. He will appear in court shortly.
Sergeant Tim Wilson said:
“We’re always out looking for drink drivers and I hope operations like this discourage people from making those bad decisions in the first place.”
