Gardaí in Gorey Make Multiple Arrests and Vehicle Seizures on Sunday Night

Gardaí in Gorey had a busy Sunday night as part of their ongoing road policing efforts, resulting in several arrests and vehicle seizures.

One male driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of cocaine. Officers acting swiftly during a routine checkpoint suspected the driver of being impaired, and he was taken into custody for further testing.

In a separate incident, Gardaí stopped another vehicle and discovered the driver was disqualified from driving. The disqualified driver’s vehicle was immediately seized under the Road Traffic Act, highlighting the serious consequences for those who ignore driving bans.

Later that night, Gardaí at Courtown Harbour seized a vehicle that had been driven for more than 14 months without tax. The car was impounded under the same section of the Road Traffic Act, and it served as a stark reminder of the importance of staying up-to-date with vehicle tax and legal requirements.

These incidents are a clear reminder that road safety is crucial. Gardaí are urging all drivers to ensure their vehicles are properly taxed, insured, and roadworthy before getting behind the wheel. They also reminded motorists that driving under the influence, driving without insurance, or while disqualified are serious offenses that not only put lives at risk but can also lead to significant legal consequences.

The busy night serves as a reminder that Gardaí will continue to target dangerous driving and encourage everyone to take road safety seriously.
