Police Conduct Extensive Breathalyzer Tests in Tartu, Resulting in Multiple Arrests

Tartu police conducted a significant number of breathalyzer tests over the weekend, totaling nearly 3,100 drivers. The increased testing was attributed to a higher volume of outdoor events typical of the summer months. During the operation, 12 drivers were found to be impaired and subsequently removed from driving privileges.

Four of these individuals were arrested on suspicion of criminal intoxication, pending further investigation. Additionally, one driver was identified as potentially under the influence of drugs and is also being investigated. The police routinely conduct breathalyzer tests throughout the year, with summer months presenting a particular opportunity for increased roadside checks due to heightened public activity.

The operation underscores the police’s ongoing commitment to road safety and the enforcement of traffic laws. Authorities emphasized the importance of responsible driving and the potential consequences of driving under the influence, regardless of the time of year. Further details regarding the investigations are pending.
