A grandmother was allegedly caught driving three times over the legal alcohol limit on a school pick-up run, police say.
Senior Sergeant Tristan Murray said Eastern Bay of Plenty police responded to a report of a vehicle swerving across College Rd in Edgecumbe on Tuesday.
He said police found the
vehicle outside a primary school and "approached the driver who was waiting to pick up her grandchildren".
He alleged she blew an excess breath alcohol reading of 777 micrograms, which was three times the legal limit.
"A passenger in the vehicle was also under the influence of alcohol."
