Thank you to those of you who called in to report a vehicle for possibly being linked to drink driving in
St Neots.
Even more shockingly, when that car stopped, a child was seen getting out together with the driver.
We stopped that very same car on Sunday and the driver, a woman in her 50s from St Neots, was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and child cruelty/neglect.
She provided a roadside breath test reading of 151 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml of breath. The legal limit is 35 microgrammes.
In an evidential breath test taken at the station, she gave a reading of 130 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml breath.
Investigations continue and our Child Abuse Investigation and Safeguarding Unit (CAISU) team in the south are working to safeguard the child involved.
Do you have concerns about a child? You don’t have to be sure, but one call or report could change or even save a life.
For more information and advice including how to report concerns about a child, visit the force’s dedicated child protection web pages.
You can report suspected drink drivers any time of day or night by calling our dedicated, confidential hotline on 0800 032 0845.
