Police in Cranbrook and the BC Highway Patrol will be increasing their traffic check stops as we get closer to the holidays.
Local police and the BC Highway Patrol joined forces on Monday, Nov. 24, and completed a combined total of 87 mandatory alcohol screenings.
During that stop, police issued one 90-day immediate roadside prohibition, arrested a prohibited driver and issued a 24-hour driving suspension.
RCMP officials said it’s important to plan ahead and arrange a safe ride as holidays and celebrations approach.
Drivers can expect to see more targeted enforcement through December.
