THREE motorists were caught driving under the influence of drink or drugs in Fenland, in a county-wide weekend campaign by traffic police.

Across the county a total of 13 motorists were found behind the wheel under the influence.

Chief Insp Mike Winters said: "The fact that over the weekend we caught 13 motorists driving under the influence of drink or drugs is completely unacceptable."

Police have started drink-drive patrols based on information from the public and intelligence about persistent offenders.

Two of the motorists arrested during the weekend were 'targets' under this new scheme.
