Two PCSO's take drink-driver off the road
Car had a deflated tyre
Two Lancashire Police community support officers played a key role in taking a drink-driver off the road.
The officers were on patrol in Skelmersdale when they saw a Mitsubishi Shogun being driven with a deflated tyre.
When the vehicle stopped on White Moss Road, they spoke to the driver who appeared to have been drinking.
He was breathalysed and found to be more than three times over the limit.
Gary Martin, 52, of no fixed address, has been charged with driving while disqualified, driving with excess alcohol and driving without insurance. He is also wanted on recall to prison.
He was remanded to appear before Preston Magistrates Court.
Inspector Rob Conolly-Perch of Lancashire Police Tactical Operations Unit, said: “We can always rely on our Neighbourhood colleagues to be our eyes and ears when we cannot be there – well done team.”
