AN ELDERLY Kinglake man will front court to face multiple driving charges, after being picked up by an automated number plate recognition (ANPR) operation in Yarra Glen last week.
The ANPR operation, run by Yarra Glen police and the Sheriff on Tuesday 24 May, netted $42,000 in warrants over the day, and caught five unregistered vehicles.
One of those unregistered vehicles was driven by a 72-year-old Kinglake man, who will be charged on summons for driving an unregistered vehicle with false plates attached, driving without an alcohol interlock and driving on a suspended driver’s licence.
Sgt Coulson said that of the $42,000, $15,000 was paid on the spot by drivers.
He said three of the drivers were found to have 47 outstanding warrants, totalling $18,500. They were each issued with seven day notices.
Two other drivers had 24 outstanding warrants worth $8480, and were issued with a notice to suspend licences and/or registrations.
