Police say just one person has so far tested positive for alcohol after the launch of the Island's Christmas drink-drive campaign.

The campaign officially got underway on Saturday and officers have been out and about on the Island's roads to deter those who get behind the wheel after drinking.

On the first night, one person was arrested after failing a breath test - but another 24 tests came back negative.

One other person's currently under investigation after police suspected they were unfit to drive through drugs.
