Five already arrested this month
Police say it's 'disappointing' they've had to reprimand so many people for drink driving so far this festive season.
Five people have been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence since the start of the month; that's compared to just two this time last year.
Officers have launched 'Operation Ripple Effect' hoping to highlight the wider impact drink or drug driving can have on the community.
