Police will summons a 32-year-old Palmerston woman after she was caught drink-driving on Sunday.

A number of reports were received about a silver Mazda sedan being driven erratically in both Higgins and Palmerston.

The woman was taken into custody and conveyed to Gungahlin police station where further breath analysis resulted in a BAC reading of 0.324.

The woman will face the ACT Magistrate’s Court at a later date and was issued with an immediate suspension notice.
