Twenty-seven people have been arrested on suspicion of drink-drving in Oxfordshire this month.

The arrests are part of the police’s ‘Is it worth the risk?’ campaign to stop people from driving after drinking alcohol or taking drugs over the Christmas period.

The force said the number of arrests in the scheme across the Thames Valley was down 10 per cent from the same period last year.
