Five times over limit

A woman was found to be more than five times over the limit when she was picked up drink driving in Melton last night.

Officers from the Road Policing Drug and Alcohol Section were operating a random breath testing site on High Street, when the woman pulled into the site, about 7.30pm.

The 37-year-old driver, who was travelling with two young children in the car, returned a positive breath test before she furnished an evidentiary breath test result of 0.283.

Police suspended the woman’s licence and impounded the car for 30 days at a cost of $1006.10.

It is expected the Melton South woman will be charged on summons in relation to drink driving.
