Eight arrested on suspicion of drink driving in Peterborough over last week

In total 15 drivers were arrested across the county over the past seven days.

A Cambridgeshire police spokesman said: "We’re sorry to say we’re not full of Christmas cheer this morning, although there were certainly a few full of Christmas spirit over the weekend!

"Another 15 drink drivers arrested across the county in the last week, half of which were caught over the weekend, and 13 in total charged."

In total eight arrests were in Peterborough, two in Fenland, two in Huntingdonshire, two in Cambridge and one in South Cambridgeshire.

The latest arrests mean 47 drink drivers have been caught so far this month.

The police spokesman added: "As we’ve mentioned to you quite a few times this month, don’t forget we’ve got our dedicated hotline – 0800 032 0845 – which is available 24/7, and gives you the chance to help us reduce the number of drink or drug drivers on our roads.

Thank you to those who have been using it"
