Traffic Police also conducted an anti-drink driving operation in the vicinity of Telok Blangah Road, in which 16 motorists were checked. A man and a woman were arrested for drink driving.
Investigations against all seven are ongoing, authorities said.
“With the festive season fast approaching, the police would like to remind all motorists that drink driving is an irresponsible act that puts their lives and the lives of other road users at risk,” said the Singapore Police Force (SPF).
SPF said it will continue enforcement efforts and work closely with other law enforcement agencies to clamp down on criminal activities.
