Three people have been arrested in and around Scarborough for drink driving.
It was part of a police operation in several locations across North Yorkshire 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 TWOC (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.”
Police say they use information supplied by the public to catch drink and drug drivers. If you have concerns or information about drink or drug driving, report them by calling 101 and selecting option 1.
