More than a dozen further arrests have been made across Northamptonshire during a festive crackdown on drink driving.

On December 1, Northamptonshire Police launched its annual campaign against drink and drug driving, where by anyone caught caught driving over the legal limit will be publicly named on the force website, social media and this newspaper.

The campaign runs for four weeks until January 1, to cover the whole Christmas and New Year period.

Detective Chief Inspector Shelley Nichols said: “We do not take the decision to continue to name all drivers charged with drink driving lightly, however for anyone who does not want to be included on this list the message is simple – do not drink and drive.”

More drivers have been arrested on suspicion of drink driving in Northamptonshire.
