Halifax Regional Police arrested three suspected impaired drivers in under two hours on Sunday night — one of whom was riding a stolen motorcycle.
Police said they first responded to a report of an “erratic driver” in the area of Mount Hope Avenue and Baker Driver in Dartmouth at 7:30 p.m. A 32-year-old man was charged with impaired operation of a conveyance and impaired operation of a conveyance over 80mg in that call.
About 15 minutes later, other patrol members saw a vehicle run a red light on the Bedford Highway near Hatchery Lane in Bedford.
“Officers stopped the vehicle and observed the driver to be impaired,” police said in a news release.
A 35-year-old man was arrested and charged with impaired operation of a conveyance and impaired operation of a conveyance over 80mg.
At 9:18 p.m., patrol members responded to a report of a stolen motorcycle that was seen on Veronica Drive in Halifax.
When officers arrived, they found the motorcycle and “observed the driver to be impaired.”
In that case, a 26-year old man was charged with impaired operation of a conveyance, impaired operation of a conveyance over 80mg — and also possession of stolen property over $5,000.
Anyone who spots a potential impaired driver is asked to call 911 immediately.
