In another case, a 40-year-old from Ajax allegedly had an open container of alcohol in their vehicle.Three novice drivers had their licences temporarily suspended, while two people were charged with drug offenses.All of those figures, other than the novice driver suspensions, were higher than they were in the first week of the 2021 campaign.
