Several people have been arrested and some charged after random vehicle stop checks were carried out on the coast as part of our Summertime Policing Plan.
As part of our seasonal plan and drink drive stop check operation, our officers stopped 52 vehicles on the weekend across the coast.
So far, we have carried out a number of stop check operations in the Skegness and Ingoldmells area. As well as enforcement taking place, drivers were also educated on speeding awareness and road safety.
Results of the checks are as follows:
This was the one of several operations planned across the coast as part of a wider plan, which can be found here: Summertime Policing Plan launched across the east coast | Lincolnshire Police (lincs.police.uk)
East Coast Chief Inspector Lee St Quinton added: “We have implemented the drink and drug stop check as part of the summertime policing plan to make the coastal road network the safest that they can be for residents and visitors alike.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank other agencies we work closely with including the council and RNL and the public for their continued support as we prepare for another busy summer season on the Lincolnshire Coast. Additional officers will be visible throughout the main resorts all summer undertaking a wide range of proactive initiatives in an effort to make the Coastal District the safest place to live, work and visit.”
