Two drivers’ licences suspended; due in court

Two people have had their licences suspended for 28 days and are due to appear in the Dunedin District Court on drink-driving charges.

Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said a 27-year-old man was located at his home in Kaikorai Valley Rd at 10.45am on Sunday, after police received complaints about a vehicle being driven erratically around Dunedin earlier that morning.

He said the driver recorded a breath-alcohol level of 1153mcg.

"It’s a high reading, especially for that time of the morning."

His licence was suspended for 28 days and he was charged with driving with excess breath alcohol.

He will appear in the Dunedin District Court on February 15.

Snr Sgt Bond said a 33-year-old woman was stopped in Filleul St about 2am on Sunday, and she recorded a breath-alcohol level of 745mcg.

"She had been at a bar in the Octagon, celebrating someone’s birthday."

Her licence was also suspended for 28 days and she was charged with driving with excess breath alcohol.
