Ontario Provincial Police in northeastern Ontario were kept busy over the holiday season.
North East Region OPP say their annual Festive RIDE campaign (which ran from November 21st to January 1st) saw 139 impaired driving charges laid, plus 26 warn-range suspensions - that is down from the previous year, when 162 impaired driving charges were laid, though it also saw 26 warn-range suspensions.
It was quieter for the local Superior East detachment, which laid only 5 impaired driving charges, down slightly from the 7 laid the previous year.
