A suspected drink driver was arrested after leaving the scene of a crash in the Magherafelt area.
Police say he was allegedly four times over the limit.
Their message is clear – ‘if you drink and drive we will catch you. Our focus is catching you before you become a killer.’
“Yet again we find ourselves picking up the pieces after another selfish drunk got behind the wheel and drove.
“How we aren’t picking up the pieces of a broken family or families is simply a miracle.
“As if this wasn’t bad enough the driver then left the scene with the assistance of others in the hope they wouldn’t get caught. A nearby crew tracked their movements and arrested the driver some distance away from the scene,” said a police spokesperson.
“It’s pathetic that we have to continually post about drink drivers in this district.
“If you are in any doubt that you’ll be caught pay a visit to Magherafelt Court on any sitting and you’ll see for yourself how relentless we are at catching these individuals,” added the spokesperson.
In a separate incident in Dungannon at the weekend, police came across a 14-year-old girl lying in her own vomit on the Oaks Road, unable to stand up.
“Do you think this is acceptable? Well we don’t. Last month we uploaded a similar post, luckily again for this girl it was us that came across her,” added a police spokesperson.
