Public tips help RCMP stop several impaired drivers this weekend.
Over the weekend of May 29 to 31, 2026, PEI RCMP arrested several impaired drivers from all counties across PEI. Most of these arrests are as a direct result of tips from the public. Approximately a third of all impaired driving arrests in RCMP jurisdiction come directly from tips from the public.
The following incidents were reported by PEI RCMP:

• Anglo Rustico, May 29, 9:34 a.m. Queens District RCMP responded to a single vehicle crash; a 70- year-old man was arrested for impaired driving by alcohol. He provided breath samples 2.75 times the legal limit. He did not suffer serious injuries.

Your calls about suspicious drivers makes a difference, if you see a suspected impaired driver call 911,” said Cpl Gavin Moore Media Relations Officer for the PEI RCMP.

Ask any of our volunteers what their favourite engagement event is and they will likely tell you, “road checks.”

We love opportunities to connect with motorists and the amazing members of Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Prince Edward Island.

Wishing you all a wonderful and safe Victoria Day weekend!
