Senior Sergeant Ciaran Sloan said that on average, one person a day was processed for drink-driving in Marlborough, including four during the weekend.He said there was no pattern to drink-drivers.
"It's just across the board. Across the genders and across the ages."
Mr Sloan said an 18-year-old female factory worker was processed with a breath alcohol level of 761 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath late on Friday night. The legal limit is 150mcg for people under 20 and 400mcg for those over that age.
On Saturday, a 21-year-old male builder had a positive result of 597mcg of alcohol per litre of breath, and yesterday an 18-year-old male beneficiary was processed for 517mcg and a 44-year-old male supervisor was processed with 457mcg.
Mr Sloan said he hoped people would start to heed warnings by police and other organisations about the dangers of drink-driving.
