New Westminster police pulled several drunk drivers off the roads Wednesday night, but it didn't have anything to do with increased enforcement.
Police nabbed four drivers around the city between 7 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. The busts happened on Columbia Street, Sixth Avenue, McBride Boulevard and 12th street.
The accused range in age from 21 to 44. Two are from Surrey, one is from Vancouver and one is from New Westminster.
Although police had set up Counterattack roadblocks to check for impaired drivers, it was patrol officers that made each of the arrests, Weishaar said.
Weishaar said drivers should expect to see more roadblocks rotating through the city throughout December and January, and there is no excuse for drinking and driving.
"It's all about road safety for motorists and pedestrians. If you are going to drink, don't drive. Take a cab, use transit, call a friend or relative; have a plan before you go out," he said in the release.
