Festival-goers urged not to drink and drive

Devon and Cornwall Police said they would be patrolling the exits of this year's Tunes in the Dunes

Police are urging festival-goers in Cornwall to make "sensible choices" to avoid drink and drug-driving.

Devon and Cornwall Police said officers would be patrolling the exits of the Tunes in the Dunes event in Perranporth from Friday to Sunday.

The force said it made "multiple" arrests for driving offences near the festival in previous years.

It told people attending the event to pre-plan their journeys home.

'Zero-tolerance approach'

PC Karen Lovell said people put themselves and others at risk by drink-driving.

"We urge people to make sensible choices in relation to drinking before driving when visiting Tunes in the Dunes," she said.

"We take a zero-tolerance approach to drink and drug-driving, and patrols will be taking place on key exit routes from the festival to prevent drink and drug-driving from taking place."
