There will be five DWI checkpoints near the Jersey Shore this weekend, according to Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer.

Lavallette, Point Pleasant Beach, Seaside Heights, Seaside Park and Toms River will all have a checkpoint in the area, which will last from 3 p.m. Saturday afternoon to 11 p.m. Saturday night, according to Billhimer.

Local police officers will work alongside with the New Jersey Department of Transportation and state police to look for signs of impaired and erratic driving.

"If you see someone you believe is posing a hazard because of poor driving behaviors, please dial 77 from a hands-free mobile device to contact the aggressive driver tip and make a report," said Billhimer. "Please be prepared to give a description of the vehicle and occupants, a location and direction, and a license plate if possible."
