Drug drivers caught

Just after 7pm on Friday February 1, members from Casey Highway Patrol intercepted a Ford Falcon ute on Hallam South in Hallam after the registration was flagging as expired.

Police spoke to the 48 year old driver from Melton South who was requested to under an oral fluid test which returned a positive result.

He will receive a summons to attend court in relation to using an unregistered motor vehicle and drug driving.

Less than an hour later the same police unit intercepted a Mitsubishi Lancer on Princes Highway, Eumemmerring.

The 46 year old driver from Dandenong North was the holder of a learner’s permit that had previously been cancelled and disqualified for drink driving.

The driver returned a negative breath test on this occasion but his oral fluid test returned a positive result.

He will also be summonsed to attend court in relation to charges of driving while unlicensed and drug driving.
