A 48-year-old man was found driving with a quantity of alcohol in his system five times over the permitted limit last night in Nicosia.
According to a police press release, the 48-year-old's vehicle was stopped for control on a Nicosia road at around 8.30pm last night by members of the Nicosia Traffic Police. The driver was found positive to a preliminary alcohol test and was subjected to a final test, with a lower reading of 104mg% instead of 22mg%.
The 48-year-old was subsequently arrested for an offence of his own accord and taken into custody, while today he is expected to be brought before the Court for trial.
The case was investigated by the Nicosia Central Police Station.
As the police stressed, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is proven to be one of the main causes
