ABBOTSFORD – Police in Abbotsford teamed up with their partners in Mission for an overnight traffic blitz focused on keeping area roads safe, checking drivers for signs of impairment, and ensuring compliance with traffic laws.

The combined efforts of the AbbyPD and Mission RCMP paid off as six vehicles were impounded, nearly a dozen impaired drivers were caught, and several drivers who were clocked at more than 70 km/h over the posted speed limit.

“Speeds like these put everyone on the road at significant risk and can lead to devastating consequences. At the same time, our Traffic Enforcement Unit (TEU) continued targeted enforcement in areas known for impaired driving activity,” AbbyPD said.

Due to their combined efforts, 10 impaired drivers were removed from local roads before they could cause harm, police said.

“These results are a reminder that risky driving behaviours remain a serious concern in our community. Through targeted enforcement, intelligence-led policing, and proactive patrols, AbbyPD remains committed to holding dangerous drivers accountable and ensuring the safety of everyone who uses our roadways,” AbbyPD said. “One poor decision behind the wheel can change lives forever, and our officers will continue working to prevent those tragedies before they occur. Drive responsibly. Plan ahead. Make safe choices. Lives depend on it.”
