Police briefs: 24-hour suspension slapped on driver

Central Saanich police take away the keys from impaired driver

Just before midnight on Sept. 7 a Central Saanich police officer driving on Bella Vista Drive noticed a car take a wide turn and then overcorrect.

He stopped the vehicle and noted the odour of alcohol on the 27-year-old North Saanich man’s breath.

The officer gave the man two roadside screenings that both came up in the warn rage. The driver was given a 24-hour roadside suspension.
