Police in Halifax: Driver stopped in Halifax 'more than three times over the drink drive limit' with his three kids in the car

Officers from Halifax Neighbourhood Policing Team made the stop in the Town ward – which covers the town centre, Siddal and Southowram – on Saturday night.

They had received calls from concerned residents.

"Officers stopped the car and found the driver to be over three times the legal drink drive limit,” they posted.

"What is more concerning was the male, along with his partner, find it acceptable to drink drive but to also have their young children in the vehicle.”
