Saanich Police arrested one driver for impaired driving by drug during a police-run roadblock — or CounterAttack — on July 27.
Police also issued one 90-day immediate roadside prohibition for alcohol, as well as two 24-hour prohibitions.
Sgt. Julie Fast said one of the two prohibitions was for alcohol, the other for drugs. Saanich Police also impounded the vehicle of an unlicensed driver.
