High range drink driver intercepted in Mount Evelyn



Mooroolbark police intercepted a high range drink driver in Mount Evelyn on Thursday 2 November.

Officers received reports of a Holden Captiva being driven erratically in Mount Evelyn about 12pm.

Police started patrolling and a few minutes later officers observed an erratically driven black Holden Captiva on Birmingham Road.

Officers attempted to intercept the car, but the driver allegedly failed to pull over until members knocked on his window while he was stationary at a t-intersection.

He underwent a preliminary breath test and accompanied members to a station where he returned an evidentiary result of 0.246.

The driver, a 57-year-old from Mount Evelyn, is expected to be charged on summons for drink driving offences.
