RNC nab 2 impaired drivers in metro

RNC respond to afternoon theft in Paradise, possible robbery in St. John's

Two men are facing impaired driving charges after two separate incidents in the metro region over the weekend.

Shortly before 9 a.m. Saturday, officers with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary pulled a vehicle over in the downtown area of St. John's.

The officer suspected the 18-year-old driver of the vehicle was impaired and, following breath testing, the man was charged with operating a vehicle with more than 80 mgs of alcohol in 100 mls of blood.

Meanwhile, around 2:45 a.m. Sunday, RNC officers pulled a vehicle over in the area of Old Placentia Road in Mount Pearl. As a result of that traffic stop, a 36-year-old male driver is facing similar charges.

Both men were released from custody to appear in court at a later date.
