Dozens of Drink and drug drivers arrested in Sussex Police crackdown

Dozens of drivers have been arrested on suspicion of drink or drug-driving as part of Sussex Police’s annual crackdown.

Officers from across the county have been working as part of Op Limit, a nationwide campaign to catch offenders on our roads.

After the first two weeks, 87 drivers have been arrested on our roads on suspicion of drink or drug driving in Sussex.

Of those, 28 have already been charged with offences and will appear in court later this month or early in the New Year 2023.

Superintendent Rachel Glenton said: “It is concerning that we are still seeing so many irresponsible drivers getting behind the wheel while intoxicated.

“Some of those we have arrested have been involved in collisions on the road and put themselves and other road users at risk.

“Our officers are determined to catch offenders to prevent them from causing serious harm.

“We police the roads 24/7 and our work to catch those who are over the limit continues all year round. So those who are over the limit while driving should be warned that while we cannot be everywhere, officers could be anywhere.

“If you suspect someone is seeking to drive while over the limit for alcohol or drugs, you should report them to the police. It could save someone’s life.”

Previously, Sussex Police launched its campaign called Drink-Driving, Together We Can Stop It, which encourages the public to prevent, persuade, and report drink-drivers to save lives.
