16 drink-drivers sentenced at court following police crackdown in Northamptonshire over Christmas

Some drink-drivers arrested and charged during a Christmas crackdown in Northamptonshire have already faced a court.

Northamptonshire Police ran a campaign to name all drink-drivers arrested over the festive period in 2022, but extended it to include the FIFA World Cup, too.

The six-week crackdown saw 146 people arrested either on suspicion of driving or being in charge of a vehicle while over the limit for either drugs or alcohol, or failing to provide a sample.

Many of those have already been sentenced at a Northampton Magistrates’ Court hearing.
