The Saskatoon Police Service Traffic Unit suspended the licences and impounded the vehicles of eight drivers at a check stop on Friday night.

The tweet said the check stop occurred on Circle Drive.
Police confirmed to Global News that the 60-day suspension was for a novice driver impaired by alcohol or drugs.
Police also told Global News that between 250-300 vehicles were checked.
