Andorran police detained three men over the weekend for driving under the influence of alcohol during routine checks, with breathalyser readings ranging from 1.45g/L to 2.27g/L. One driver also faced charges for operating a vehicle despite an administrative suspension of his licence.

The highest reading occurred in the early hours of Sunday at 3:19am in Sant Julià de Lòria. Officers stopped a 47-year-old man travelling without mandatory lights after 3am. A records check revealed his permit had been suspended due to a prior offence, and his breathalyser test showed 2.27g/L. He now faces charges for impaired driving as well as disobeying public authority.

The first incident happened the previous day, Saturday at 3:55am in Encamp. During a preventive alcohol check as part of an ongoing safety campaign, police stopped a 31-year-old man who tested positive at 1.45g/L.

Later that Sunday morning at 9:45am, also in Encamp, a patrol intercepted a 21-year-old driver showing erratic behaviour on local roads. His test registered 1.91g/L.

Police reported no accidents or injuries linked to these cases. All three individuals will be prosecuted for the traffic safety violations, as part of efforts to reduce alcohol-related driving risks.
