20.01.2022 *** HIGH DRINK DRIVING READING IN WARRNAMBOOL *** Members of the Warrnambool Highway Patrol intercepted a drink driver on Friday afternoon at approximately 2pm in Warrnambool. A local 47 year old man was requested to accompany police to the police station for an evidential breath test where he returned a staggering reading of 0.263 which is more than five times the legal limit. ... It is certainly quite disappointing that he considered he could still drive with such a high reading. The man will face the Magistrates' Court in the future and had his car impounded and lost his licence on the spot for 12 months as a minimum. Remember if you have information on anyone you suspect of drink or drug driving contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 to report them anonymously.

Santa told police that all the staff, clients and residents at Cooinda were on hi...s good list. Presents were given out and Santa gave lots of hugs to the clients and residents.
