By Four arrests made after roadside breath tests
Humberside Police’s Roads Policing team have been conducting roadside breath tests for the last month in a bid to reduce drug and drink driving.
On Wednesday (8 December), the team stopped multiple vehicles in and around Grimsby.
Two men were arrested on suspicion of drink driving, one on Grimsby Road in Cleethorpes and one on Abbey Road in Grimsby.
Another two men were arrested on suspicion of drug driving, one on Hainton Avenue in Grimsby and one on Kings Road in Cleethorpes.
A 65-year-old man has been charged with drink driving and has been bailed to appear in Grimsby Magistrates Court on Tuesday 18 January 2022.
Two others were released under investigation while another was released without charge.
A spokesperson for Humberside Police said: “Our Roads Policing team have been, and will be continuing, to conduct roadside breath tests this month, with the aim of preventing those unfit through drink and drugs from harming other road users.”
Recently the force has also been cracking down on knife crime in the local area, with Operation Sceptre seeing between 800 and 1000 knives surrendered by the members of the public.
Under new legislation, which was brought in earlier this year, it is now illegal to own certain items such as knuckle dusters, zombie knives and throwing stars – even within a private dwelling.
