Shoppers at a popular Doncaster supermarket were surprised after spotting a heavy police presence outside a city store this morning.

Customers at Sainsburys in Thorne Road, Edenthorpe reported five patrol cars and a mounted patrol unit outside the store at around 9.30am today.

The presence was part of a pre-planned operation around drink driving in the run up to Christmas with Neighbourhood Policing Teams working with Operational Support Unit officers to take proactive steps to reduce casualties and fatalities on our roads over the festive period.

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.
