The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was kept busy on Saturday with drivers suspected of impairment.

The department said its Traffic Bureau, in coordination with the Northeast Area Command and Southeast Area Command, conducted a “DUI Blitz” on Las Vegas Valley roads on Saturday.

As part of the operation, officers made nearly two dozen DUI arrests, according to figures released by the department on Monday.
