Bordeaux: Narcotics and alcohol under the watchful eye of the police

It is impossible to get through the cracks. Friday saw a police operation in the Yser and Somme in Bordeaux. At the end was Place Nansouty. This involved the mobilization units from the Departmental Intervention Company ( CDI), and the local security group, (GSP).

Motorcyclists from the motorcycle formation patrolled the area and intercepted around twenty vehicles, including two-wheelers.

Soon, seven people will be aboard a shiny and roaring sedan. This operation is designed to combat addictive behavior. The screening for alcohol and narcotics takes place in a systematic manner. This is followed by inspection of the cars' interiors. In the fight against traffic crimes, the prefecture has clear instructions: Zero tolerance.

"In the first four month of 2022, checks against addictive behaviour and speeding by road user gave rise to 76 licensure retention measures", stated the prefect in a press statement. He also noted that the forces of internal security were fully mobilized to verbally address bad behavior at the wheel or on the handlebars.

On Friday evening, 30 people were checked by the police. Three of them were taken to the central station by police, including a 50 year-old man who had 1.5 g of alcohol in him. There were 12 violations total.
