Two people were arrested for impaired driving throughout Waterloo Region on New Year’s Eve, according to Waterloo Regional Police.
“We’re optimistic that the community has heard our strong messaging about not driving impaired and that they have chose an alternative mode of transportation, whether that be public transit, taxis or Ubers,” Const. Ashley Dietrich told Global News.
She says that the two arrests were made outside of a spot check in Kitchener.
