A busy night for Halifax Regional Police after they say three people were charged for impaired driving in under two hours.

A tip came in at about 7:30 p.m. on Sunday reporting an erratic driver near Mount Hope Avenue and Baker Drive in Dartmouth.

A 32-year-old man was charged with impaired operation of a conveyance and impaired operation of a conveyance over 80 mg.

About 15 minutes later, police saw a car run a red light on the Bedford Highway near Hatchery Lane.

A 35-year-old man was charged with impaired operation of a conveyance and impaired operation of a conveyance over 80 mg.

Not long after officers were called to Veronica Drive in Halifax after a stolen motorcycle was spotted just before 9:30 p.m.

Police say the 26-year-old was showing signs of impairment. He has been charged with impaired driving offences and possession of stolen property over $5,000.

HRP wants you to call 911 if you spot a driver you think might be impaired.

“Police remind the public if you see a potentially impaired driver, call 911 immediately and give the call taker your location along with a description of the vehicle, including the licence plate number, colour, make and model, the direction of travel for the vehicle and a description of the driver,” a news release says.
