The woman was arrested and police said she had nearly twice the legal limit of alcohol in her system after providing breath samples at the station.

A 25-year-old Cambridge woman has been charged with impaired driving and driving with no licence.

She will make a court appearance in June.

Police continue to remind everyone to call 911 immediately to report suspected impaired drivers.
