Ten drunk drivers were arrested along Cape Road in Gqeberha on Friday, 16 June 2023, during a joint operation by the NMBM Metro Police and Kabega SA Police Service.
During the operation, Metro Police officers found shocking breath alcohol results with the highest being 0.83mg/Lt while the legal limit for breath alcohol is 0.24mg/Lt.
Metro Police Acting Commissioner, Advocate Andrew Moses has issued a stern warning to drivers, especially over the long weekend to not act recklessly as the Metro has a zero tolerance on drunk driving.
"We will be conducting more joint operations this weekend and high visibility on our major routes to ensure the safety of all our road users. The warning is clear, do not drink and drive, if you are drunk while driving we will take you off from our roads as you endangering other people's lives," Moses said.
The suspects were detained at the KabegaPolice Station and are expected to appear before the Magistrate's Court on Monday.
