During December, Sussex Police’s Operation Limit led to 261 arrests for suspected drunk or drug-driving, showcasing a robust effort to curb this dangerous behaviour. This campaign, running from December 1 to January 1, saw officers from across the force actively patrolling and conducting nearly 6,000 vehicle checks. The number of arrests this year marked a 12% increase compared to the previous year’s campaign.
Chief Constable Jo Shiner emphasized the campaign’s role in highlighting the risks of impaired driving and the simple measures to prevent it. She also commended the public’s involvement in reporting intoxicated drivers, helping to avert potential tragedies. Notably, there were over 50 collisions related to these offences, underlining the peril of driving under the influence.
