POLICE say more than 70 arrests have been made since the end of November across Staffordshire as part of a crackdown on drug and drink driving.
Officers have completed more than 700 tests in recent weeks as part of a campaign in the run up to the festive period.
A spokesperson for Staffordshire Police said:
“Those who choose to drink or take drugs and then get behind the wheel put everyone’s safety at risk, so to tackle this and protect all road users we’ve been drug and drink drive testing at locations across the county and through our day-to-day policing activities.
“We’ve completed over 700 tests since the end of November and made 76 arrests where motorists were found to be driving under the influence. Of those, 46 arrests were for drink driving and 30 arrests were for drug driving.”
