A teenager who was arrested early today after she allegedly stole petrol from BP on Main St in central Blenheim was also found to be more than four times over the youth alcohol limit, the police say.
Constable Michelle Stagg, of the Blenheim police, said the 19-year-old woman's breath alcohol level was 667 micrograms per litre of breath. She said the police pulled the woman over at midnight, after she allegedly failed to pay for petrol.
In a separate arrest overnight, a 16-year-old male was also processed for drink driving, after a breath test showed he had a breath alcohol level of 369mcg at 2.15am.
Also early today, at 12.20am, a 28-year-old man was arrested for allegedly stealing petrol from petrol stations three times in the last two weeks, Miss Stagg said.
