The man was one of four people arrested or charged on the day, in the force’s annual crackdown on drink and drug driving throughout the festive period, which typically lasts for a month and is designed to keep roads and communities safer.

Since the campaign started on Friday, December 1, officers have arrested 95 drivers on suspicion of driving while over the prescribed limit for alcohol and 37 on suspicion of driving while unfit through drugs.
