A WOMAN from Accrington has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving.

Police said the woman failed to provide a full breath reading but the machine still indicated a partial reading of nearly three times the legal limit.

She is set to appear in court in due course.

A police spokesman said: "May we take this opportunity to remind everybody who is out enjoying themselves in this festive period to either get a taxi or do not drink any alcohol if you intend to drive.

"Patrols will be out actively stopping drivers and a number of drink and drug drive checkpoints will be set up throughout the month."
