The team pops up in locations across South Yorkshire and stops vehicles and conduct breath tests with motorists, to check for anyone driving under the influence of drink or drugs.
One of the locations they were based today was on Thorne Road in Edenthorpe.
To report drink driving in Doncaster and across South Yorkshire, contact South Yorkshire Police on 101 or call 999 in an emergency.
