Police carried out about 80 alcohol tests, one of which was positive. A police doctor determined that five drivers were under the influence of drugs. Officers seized four driving licences at the scene.

One driver tried unsuccessfully to evade the check by turning off the road. He was under the influence of drugs and was driving an unregistered car with invalid number plates. He and his passenger were carrying drugs. Five people were reported for drug-related offences.
