Police in Mid Ulster have said recent drink driving incidents have been "deeply frustrating" after three more arrests were made in the Dungannon area over the weekend.
The arrests came after another busy night for police last month in which four arrests were made for drink driving offences in East Tyrone .
Police confirmed the three incidents took place on Saturday and Sunday, with all three men to appear in front of Dungannon Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

There were no injuries reported after the arrests were made in Dungannon, Killyman and the Killylea Road near Caledon.
All three men were released on bail following the incidents.
“It is extremely worrying and deeply frustrating that people are disregarding the safety of others and themselves by taking the incredibly dangerous decision to drive after drinking,” Inspector Hicks said.
“We are thankful that there were no injuries to others or worse, fatalities, after these weekend reports.
“Police will continue to use all the powers and legislation at our disposal to detect people who insist on driving after having taken drugs or alcohol.
“All motorists need to take into account the consequences of their actions. Never take the risk of having even one drink if you are driving.”
Confirming the three arrests, police said the three men were aged between 28 and 48.
“A 34-year-old man has been released on bail after he was arrested on suspicion of driving when unfit through drink or drugs and driving with excess alcohol in breath after a vehicle was stopped on the Farlough Road, Dungannon in the early hours of Saturday April 9th.
“A 28-year-old man has been released on bail after he was arrested on suspicion of driving with excess alcohol on breath and dangerous driving after a vehicle was discovered stopped on the Killylea Road, Armagh just after midnight on Sunday April 10th.
“A 48-year-old man has been released on bail after he was arrested on suspicion of driving with excess alcohol in breath after a vehicle was found abandoned on the Cavan Road, Killyman, Dungannon at approximately 1.50am on Sunday April 10th.”
