Three people have been arrested and one vehicle seized after police in Irvine carried out more than 100 vehicle checks last week.

Offences including drink-driving, driving without insurance and driving with no valid MOT were uncovered.

Held as part of Operation Monarda, the national campaign to highlight doorstep crime, the road vehicle checkpoints were set up near to the A78 and A71 trunk roads.

More than 100 vehicles were stopped, with three people were arrested. Two were reported to the procurator fiscal and three were issued with fixed penalty notices for alleged offences.

Sergeant Jason Peter said: "A man was arrested during the first checkpoint after allegedly being found more than three times over the drink drive limit.

"Driving while unfit through alcohol or drugs can have devastating consequences and drivers are encouraged to remember this when getting behind the wheel - even the morning after."

"We would like to thank drivers for their cooperation and would encourage anyone with information on illegal drivers or doorstep criminals to contact us."
