The EMPD led a drunken driving operation in which 24 intoxicated drivers were arrested over the weekend.
“The intersection of CR Swart Drive and Old Pretoria Road was flooded with EMPD officers between 6pm Saturday and 3am that resulted in 22 male drivers and two female motorists failing the onsite sobriety test after portable Alco meters or breathalysers were used,” said Kobeli Mokheseng, spokesperson for EMPD.
