RBT Lockdown - Darwin CBD

Police

Police will conduct a blitz in Darwin’s CBD tomorrow night as part of a campaign to detect and apprehend drink drivers.

Senior Sergeant Kerry James said the operation will commence at 3:00pm across various locations throughout the city.

“Police will be out in force conducting random breath tests (RBT) to identify those who are driving under the influence,” Senior Sergeant James said.

“The Police presence across the city should serve as a warning to offending motorists that they will be caught.

“We hope that by educating the public on road safety, we can reduce the number of injuries and deaths on our roads.

“We will continue these operations to remove impaired drivers - the very people that increase the risk of trauma and death on Territory roads."
