Detailed tips from the public led to impaired charges against a 36-year-old Colwood woman in late March.
On March 27th, at around 10:30 p.m., West Shore RCMP said they received detailed information about an erratic driver in the 3700-block of Sooke Road in Metchosin.
Police said one caller provided them with a detailed description of the vehicle, a licence plate number, driving behaviour, and the location.
Shortly after receiving the report, an officer located the vehicle and driver, and through investigation, observed symptoms consistent with impairment by alcohol.
The officers also located open liquor inside the vehicle next to driver.
“When we receive immediate detailed reports providing the above mentioned information, it can really assist our officers in promptly locating the erratic and impaired drivers”, saidCst Meghan Groulx, spokesperson for the West Shore RCMP.
The driver was served a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition and her vehicle was impounded for 30 days.
