Traffic campaign

Leicestershire Crimestoppers, working in partnership with Leicestershire Constabulary, launched a traffic campaign encouraging the public to call with information relating to drink drivers, disqualified drivers and drivers with no documents.

As a result of this campaign:

• 32 drink drivers were arrested and charged
• 32 disqualified drivers were arrested and charged
• 70 people were arrested and charged for other traffic offences

Leicestershire Crimestoppers stepped-up the campaign just before Christmas, particularly to remind people about drink driving. In 2006, 16 people in Leicestershire were killed or seriously injured in drink-drive related incidents. That's 16 people too many.

Leicestershire Crimestoppers have distributed posters and postcards about the traffic campaign across Leicestershire.
