NORTH Wales residents are reminded that driving under the influence of drugs will not be tolerated.

The warning comes after North Wales Police took to social media earlier today (August 11), to inform the public that they will continue to combat this crime as drug driving arrests have increased by almost 59 per cent since lockdown.

They posted: "During lockdown our drug drive arrests increased by almost 59%

"We are on patrol 24/7.

"Driving whilst under the influence will not be tolerated and you will be prosecuted."
