Drone used in Sandbanks driving crackdown

Dorset Police carried out a proactive roads policing operation in Sandbanks on Friday 29 May.

The operation involved the Roads Policing Team, Safety Camera Team, Force Support Group, Special Constabulary and trained drone officers.

A police drone was used to spot poor driving from above, with officers on the ground then intercepting motorists.

More than 70 drivers were identified as exceeding the speed limit.

Two arrests were made for suspected drink and drug driving.

Other offences included driving without insurance, using a mobile phone while driving, careless driving, not wearing a seatbelt and licence offences.

Police say the operation was carried out in response to community concerns about anti-social driving in the area.
