Law enforcement agencies made 16 DUI arrests on Christmas Eve in Ventura County, one fewer than the total on Christmas Eve last year.

In a 17-day crackdown through New Year’s Day, “Avoid the 14,” which is named for the number of police departments in the county, is still seeing a rise in DUI arrests.

Police officers, sheriff’s deputies and California Highway Patrol officers have arrested 138 DUI suspects since the crackdown began Dec. 16.

Maximum freeway enforcement will continue through Monday, according to CHP Lt. April Baxter, who commands the Moorpark squad.
