On January 13, officers saw a Nissan X Trail travelling at speed through Dunscroft. They caught up to the vehicle and requested it to stop. On speaking with the driver it was clear he had been drinking alcohol, so a breath sample was requested.

The driver failed and was subsequently arrested, it was also established this was not the first time for drink driving.

The driver attended court and been disqualified from driving for 36 months.
