A woman with three children in a car was stopped by police in the Mid Ulster area yesterday on suspicion of drink-driving.

Police said the female and a male were detained thanks to reports from members of the public on Sunday afternoon.

In a social media post police said: "The first was in Dungannon where the male had just come out of the pub and thought it was acceptable to get behind the wheel. He was soon stopped and gave an evidential sample of twice the legal limit. He has been charged to court.

"Very soon after we received a report that car was driving erratically in the Portglenone area. Again, the vehicle was stopped and gave an evidential sample nearly 3 times the limit.

"The concerning element with this one is the female driver had 3 children under the age 7 in the car at the time. She will also be speaking with the Magistrate very soon. Don't drink and drive!"
