Police are warning motorists not to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs following a spate of arrests in the Eden area.
During the past five days, officers have made ten arrests after drivers were deemed unfit to drive due to being under the influence of drugs.
A further two arrests have been made for drivers being above the alcohol limit.
The majority of those arrested reside in the local area.
There is an increased roads policing presence across the Eden and South Lakes area and officers will continue to hold those who are putting other people in danger to account.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is one of the 'Fatal Four' - which are the four main behaviours which cause death or serious injury on the road network alongside speeding, using a mobile phone at the wheel and not wearing a seatbelt.
Officers urge anyone who consumes alcohol or drugs to not get behind a wheel and put lives at risk.
