DELTA (NEWS 1130) — It was a busy day for Delta Police yesterday, after they pulled over 61 drivers on Nordel Way.

Cris Leykauf with Delta Police says despite advertising that officers were going to be out in full force along the route, many people weren’t taking enough care.

.@deltapolice says people are not driving carefully enough. "We do see that in our crash and collision statistics — that's the reason why we had the 10 officers out there yesterday from 9am to 8pm targeting drivers on this stretch of road," DPD's CCris Leykauf says. @NEWS1130 https://t.co/CtZTSOSk3G — Hana Mae Nassar (@HanaMaeNassar) March 1, 2019

“Some of these events, we’ll actually only have a handful of drivers potentially pulled over, so this was definitely a higher than normal number of drivers that were pulled over,” she says.

The drivers were pulled over for a variety of reasons… and in one case, a driver was caught using cannabis behind the wheel.

On the bright side, Leykauf says officers loved being cheered on by drivers.
