On November 19, at approximately 12:53 p.m., an RCMP officer observed a westbound Cadillac XT4 driving erratically on Hwy. 103 in Timberlea. A traffic stop was initiated and the driver, a 39-year-old woman from Timberlea, displayed signs of impairment.

On November 19, at approximately 11:03 p.m., an RCMP officer on proactive patrol in Lower Sackville observed a Volkswagen Passat run a red light on Sackville Dr. The officer activated their emergency equipment to initiate a traffic stop, but the Passat increased its speed. The driver eventually pulled into a parking lot in the 600 block of Sackville Dr., where the officer arrested him for Flight from Police. The officer then observed signs of impairment and demanded the driver, a 24-year-old man from Lower Sackville, provide a roadside breath sample. He refused and is facing charges of Failure to Comply with a Demand. He was released and will be appearing in Dartmouth Provincial Court at a later date.
On November 20, at approximately 12:14 a.m., RCMP officers responded to a report of an intoxicated person behind the wheel of a Toyota Corolla in the 2100 block of Beaver Bank Rd. An officer located the Toyota Corolla travelling south on Beaver Bank Rd. and initiated a traffic stop. The driver exhibited signs of impairment.

He was transported to Lower Sackville RCMP Detachment where he provided two breath samples of 120% and 110 mg%. The 58-year-old man of Centre Rawdon was released and will be appearing in Dartmouth Provincial Court at a later date.
