Drink driving seems to be increasing ? with eight people arrested at the weekend, Police say.

?We are advising the public that if they must drink, please do not drive,? a Police spokesman said.

?The Bermuda Police Service will be ever vigilant and anyone caught drinking and driving will be arrested and put before the courts.

One drunk driver was arrested after Police saw him stagger to his car and drive off from the Esso 24 hour gas station on Sunday morning.

Police said that at 5.15 a.m. they stopped the man on Par-La-Ville Road where he was arrested for the suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Shortly afterwards a drunk driver was arrested at the 24 hour Esso Tiger Mart.

At around 5.30 a.m. the man was spotted by Police on mobile patrol on Reid Street trying get his cycle to start.

They followed him and saw him almost fall off the cycle on Queen Street.

When they caught up to him at the gas station they noticed his speech was slurred, his breath smelled of intoxicants and his eyes extremely glazed over.

Police arrested him and took him to Hamilton Police Station where he was searched and detained.

As well as the eight drink-driving arrests, this weekend also saw six cycles stolen, five break-ins, 19 road accidents without injury and seven crashes where people were hurt.
