FOUR more people were arrested yesterday by our Operational Support Group (OSG) as they continue their work to keep you safe in our communities and on our roads.

All four arrests related to driving offences, with three people arrested on suspicion of drug driving and one person for taking a vehicle without consent.

Two of the arrests came as a result of proactive stops by the team monitoring our road network.
OSG also carried out arrest attempts and high visibility patrols.

Chief Inspector Richard Baxter, who leads the team, said: “Keeping you safe when you use our roads is one of Essex Police’s key priorities and yesterday’s work emphasises that.

“If you leave your house, you expect to get to your destination without incident, and we’re committed to tackling anyone who puts you and other road users at risk.

“Our roads are likely to get busier this week as kids go back to school and many people go back to work after the holidays.

“My team and our specialist roads policing officers will be out across the county to help you get home safely.”
