They also reported three offenders to the court, five offenders were issues with Fixed Penalty Notices, one motorcyclist was issued a prohibition order and a further 13 people were warned for other driving infringements.

In a statement, Police said: “Everyone knows police officers love doughnuts however not when the doughnuts are the type done in a vehicle by a driver almost 5 times the legal drinking limit.

"Further dates are planned...to target those who continue to behave in an anti-social manner either through alcohol or their driving behaviour.”
