Warwickshire Police arrested a 22 year old woman after stopping her car on the B4100 in Gaydon at 2.10am this morning, Wednesday December 16.

The woman has been released under investigation pending further enquiries.

The arrest occurred while Warwickshire Police were out on the county’s roads looking for any drivers who may be behind the wheel under the influence of drink or drugs.

Warwickshire Police is publicising arrests made during December for drink or drug driving as a way of demonstrating how officers are being proactive in targeting people suspected of drink or drug driving. This is part of a campaign aimed at changing people’s behaviour and reducing the number of people killed and seriously injured on the county’s roads.

Officers are also asking the public to provide intelligence about anyone they believe may be drink or drug driving in Warwickshire to police by dialling 101 or 999 if a suspected offence is in progress.

Reports can also be made anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
