According to Inspector Phil Nicholas for the Road Policing Unit, the number of people breaking the law by taking to the road over the limit cannot be tolerated.
"So far this month we have seen 14 casualties as a result of someone drink driving. This is unacceptable and we will continue to hunt down those who drive impaired and put the lives of others at risk," said the official.
In the UK the current drink-driving limit is 80 mg alcohol per 100 ml blood.
