🚔 **Shocking News from North Wales!**
A senior Welsh police officer, Inspector Andrew Griffiths, has been dismissed after being caught drink driving. Convicted last month at Chester Magistrates Court, Griffiths found himself behind the wheel in Erbistock, Wrexham, on May 11 whilst over the limit. This has resulted in a 25-month driving ban, though it could be reduced if he completes a rehab course by late 2026.
Aside from losing his driving licence, his actions have led to him being sacked from North Wales Police after a misconduct hearing. This means he joins the College of Policing barred list – a big deal in law enforcement circles.
Deputy Chief Constable Nigel Harrison spoke out, emphasizing that drink driving is a serious offence with risks to everyone. Unsurprisingly, the response from North Wales Police on the misconduct proceedings was reserved.
This case underscores the zero-tolerance stance against such behaviour. Road safety is paramount, and no one’s excused, no matter their position. Let’s continue to stay alert and responsible on the roads, friends! 🛑🚗
