MOTORISTS have been warned with a simple message of "don’t do it" as police continue their crackdown on netting drivers drunk behind the wheel or under the influence of drugs.

Several arrests have been made. One man was stopped on the A548 in Towyn as he was suspected to be involved in shoplifting.

Officers searched the vehicle and the 27-year-old driver, from Pensarn, was arrested on suspicion of going equipped. He also tested positive for cocaine at the roadside and was further arrested on suspicion of drug-driving.

His vehicle was seized due to no licence or insurance and he has been released under investigation pending the results of further tests.

North Wales Police’ roads policing unit also made an arrest in Bangor.

A 38-year-old woman was arrested on Holyhead Road after testing positive for cocaine at the roadside. She was stopped after being seen driving at excess speed.

She also tested positive for alcohol but the reading was just under the legal limit.

She has since been released pending the results of further tests.

Sgt Meurig Jones, from the force’s roads policing unit, said: “Despite our repeated warnings regarding the dangers of drink and drug-driving, people are still choosing to risk their own lives and the lives of other road users by taking to the roads whilst under the influence.

“Throughout 2017, North Wales Police made 882 drink-drive and 600 drug-drive arrests and we will continue in our efforts to change driver behaviour in order to make our roads safer.”
