WYNDHAM: 5 times over limit at Hoppers Crossing
Police have busted a man with a suspended licence drink driving in Hoppers Crossing on Monday night (Aug. 4).
Officers on patrol first spotted a Toyota Echo being driven erratically along Heaths Rd about 7.15pm.
Police intercepted the Toyota, and the driver was given a preliminary breath test which returned a positive result.
After accompanying police to a local station, the driver undertook an evidentiary breath test where he returned an alleged reading of 0.269, more than five times the legal limit.
The 32-year-old man was issued an immediate driving ban and has been charged with exceeding the prescribed content of alcohol whilst driving and disobeying a red light.
His vehicle was also impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1225. He will appear before Werribee Magistrates’ Court on November 11.
