THE police at Ongwediva in the Oshana Region have arrested five people for driving under the influence of alcohol.
The purported culprits are aged between 23 and 33.
They were among many motorists who were tested, but unlike others, their alcohol content was found to be high, between 0.65mg/l and 1.12mg/l.
Nampol’s Inspector Thomas Aiyambo said that the suspects are all from Ongwediva and are detained at the police precinct there.
The police, in collaboration with stakeholders, launched a festive season operation with the hope of curbing traffic incidents.
Those breaking the law will not go unnoticed, said Aiyambo.
