AS the festive season gets under way, North Yorkshire Police officers are urging people to shop anyone they know drink-driving on the county's roads.
The appeal comes as the force launches random checks on cars travelling in the region, with officers on the lookout for anyone driving under the influence of alcohol.
Officers hope that people will call the police if they are aware of any drink-drivers on the road. Rewards of £500 are on offer.
A police spokesman said: "We hope that people with a heart will do the right thing and inform the police. Those with a sense of responsibility will not want to see anyone killed on the roads this Christmas.
"Crimestoppers is offering a reward to those who call in with information about drink-drivers as part of a crackdown this year. It is an imaginative scheme and we would encourage people to call either one of us."
Call police on (01609) 783131 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
