Concern 17 Drivers Arrested In Five Days

Police say they’re disappointed 17 drivers have been arrested during the first five days of their Drink and Drug Drive campaign across Leicestershire.

16 failed road-side breath tests – including two in the Harborough District – and one tested positive for drugs.

A driver was arrested for drink-driving at the scene of this crash, luckily no-one was seriously injured

Four of those arrested were aged under-24.

The figure is much higher than during the first stage of last year’s campaign.
