‘There are people who choose to drink and drive and we’re there to stop them:’ holiday enforcement ramps up in Nanaimo
NANAIMO — Local police say impaired driving is a sure-fire way to make Santa’s naughty list this holiday season.
In recognition of national impaired driving enforcement day on Saturday, Dec. 4, local RCMP are preparing to increase patrols on area roads and highways.
Cst. Gary O’Brien told NanaimoNewsNOW they’ll have an increased presence through the Nanaimo area.
“We hit all the corridors but then we have roving patrols. We know some drivers get really silly and they see the flashing lights and they like to turn off but we know exactly where they’re going to turn off.”
