HERMOSA BEACH, CA — The Hermosa Beach Police Department arrested 10 people, including one juvenile, during a driving under the influence checkpoint Friday, officers announced.

Police said 537 vehicles passed through the checkpoint in the 500 block of Pier Avenue.

During the five-hour-long checkpoint, police said they conducted 16 sobriety tests and made 10 DUI arrests.

An additional eight drivers were arrested for driving without a license or with a suspended license, according to police.

A total of 12 vehicles were impounded, police said.

The checkpoint marked the department’s third this year, police said. Across all three checkpoints, police said they made 58 arrests: 28 for DUI and 30 for driving without a license or a suspended license.

“These totals are unfortunate,” police said. “One DUI is one too many.”

If people are under the influence or unlicensed, they should use ride-share or find alternative transportation, police said.
