Three roadside suspensions were issued last night during a pair of Festive RIDE checks in Niagara.

Police stopped about 600 cars in Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Drivers were asked if they had consumed any alcohol or drugs earlier in the evening, and 23 drivers were asked to provide a breath sample.

Three drivers got an "alert" and had their licenses suspended for three days.

As well, tickets were issued to drivers for traffic infractions.
