WALLANGARRA police netted 10 positive drug drivers last week as part of Operation Mike Current.
Offenders were detected with amphetamines and cannabis in their systems and about six people were also charged with drug posession.
Police also handed out about 40 infringement notices for a variety of offences and conducted more than 500 random breath tests as part of the operation.
Blown over
TWO drink drivers were caught in the Stanthorpe region last week.
A 30-year-old man was intercepted driving on Sugarloaf Road just after midnight last Tuesday morning and was charged with having an alcohol concentration of .058 per cent.
The second was a 26-year-old international visitor who was nabbed about noon on Sunday and blew .078 per cent on the breathalyser.
Hunted down
A 34-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with public nuisance and drug offences after causing a disturbance at a local hotel on 2 February about 11.15am.
Meanwhile, police were called to a disturbance at Thorpe Street the following day at 5.15am where a number of windows were smashed by a male offender who fled the scene.
A short time later a complaint was received regarding an offence in Jardine Street where a garage had been entered and a motorbike stolen.
As a result of inquiries, police later detained the same man in Clarke Street where he was charged with a host of offences, including breaking and entering, stealing, wilful damage to property, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, obstructing police, riding an unregistered and uninsured vehicle, unlicensed driving and possession of a drug utensil.
The man was remanded in custody.
