On Sunday the 21st of December 2025 police in South Harrow arrested a man on Sunday after finding him sitting in a running vehicle with a bottle of whiskey during proactive patrols for the Winter Drink Drive Campaign.

Officers attended Roxeth Recreation Ground car park following reports of people drinking in the area. They discovered the man inside his car with the engine running. When asked to provide a breath sample, he refused and was arrested on suspicion of being drunk in charge of a motor vehicle.
