Night of excess: 7 drivers caught with alcohol in Coimbra and Figueira da Foz

Notícias de Coimbra14 September 2026 at 14:36

Seven men, aged between 23 and 49, were arrested last weekend for driving under the influence of alcohol. The arrests occurred in the cities of Coimbra and Figueira da Foz, both located in the Coimbra district.

Police authorities were carrying out traffic inspection operations during the nighttime period, when they intercepted the seven drivers with excess alcohol. The arrested men represent different age groups, from young men of 23 years old to men of almost 50 years old.

The inspection operations were precisely aimed at combating driving under the influence of alcohol, a behavior that puts at risk the safety of all road users. This type of action is frequently intensified during weekends, periods when greater consumption of alcoholic beverages is recorded.

Why this matters

Readers in the Coimbra and Figueira da Foz region learn that authorities have intensified inspection of driving under the influence of alcohol, which represents an increased risk for those traveling on these roads. This information directly affects all drivers who use these routes, who should be aware of the reinforcement of police surveillance actions on the weekend.
