TIMMINS - The results are in for the annual Festive RIDE campaign.
In December, Timmins Police checked 670 vehicles during the campaign to curb impaired driving.
During the programs, police said 181 approved screening device demands were made and five three-day suspensions issued for blood alcohol concentration exceeding 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.
There were two Highway Traffic Act charges laid, two charges under the Cannabis Control Act, and one charge for operation while impaired by drugs.
"Driving under the influence is not only dangerous but carries severe legal consequences. The Timmins Police Service will continue its efforts to enforce impaired driving laws and protect all road users," reads a news release.
