A man has been banned from driving thanks to fast collaborative action from police officers and CCTV operators in Salisbury.
Benjamin Collins, 42, of Westwood Road, was spotted by City Watch staggering towards his car intoxicated in Maltings Car Park on February 2.
The operator directed officers, who were patrolling on foot around the city, to the suspect, and they found Collins in the driver's seat, attempting to drive away.
Collins was stopped and provided a specimen of breath, which revealed he was triple the legal alcohol limit. He was arrested on suspicion of drink driving.
Collins appeared at Salisbury Magistrates' Court on Tuesday (18th February), where he pleaded guilty to the offence and was disqualified from driving for 19 months.
If you suspect someone of drink driving, call 101 or report information to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. In an emergency, always call 999.
