Entering into the July 4th holidays the Moore County Sheriff’s Department sponsored a day of traffic related enforcement operations including a speed saturation operation during the afternoon and a DWI/Traffic Enforcement Checkpoint Friday night.

Starting at 4:00 pm Friday afternoon officers from multiple different law enforcement agencies conducted combined speed enforcement operations on NC Highway 211 between Pinehurst and West End.

According to Sheriff’s Department officials this area was targeted due to the high number of complaints from citizens of people driving too fast on this area of highway between the two towns.

A total of 58 citations were issued during the traffic enforcement operation.
