While a 25-year-old man was being processed by police for alleged drink-driving, his drunk partner got behind the wheel and drove their car away with two toddlers inside.
He was one of several drink-drivers caught by Otago police over the weekend.
Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen, of Dunedin, said on Saturday the man was pulled over while travelling from Invercargill to Milton.
He had a breath-alcohol level of 600mcg, more than double the legal limit.
