Police were called just before 6pm on April 26 about a suspected drink driver who crashed into parked cars in Ramnoth Road, Wisbech, and was trying to leave. The driver, Andrius Baltuska, 41, was arrested after he failed a roadside breath test and blew 117 in custody – more than three times the legal limit of 35.
