Police in the north detected 20 drink drivers and one drug driver over the Easter weekend, five times more than for the same period last year.

Northern Constabulary said that, of 21 people detected between Good Friday and Easter Monday, 12 were reported by members of the public.

Insp John Smith, of the force's road policing section, said that drink driving was "totally unacceptable".

He encouraged people to come forward with information about drink drivers.
