Impounds galore

Healesville police impounded two vehicles and suspended another driver’s licence over the weekend.

Acting Sgt Tim Stewart said the first impound occurred in the early hours of Saturday 18 May, about 1am.

Officers intercepted a 33-year-old Millgrove man on Don Road, Healesville, allegedly driving at 89 kilometres an hour in a 60 zone.

Act Sgt Stewart said the driver was unlicensed and was displaying false registration plates.

Officers impounded his vehicle for 28 days at a cost of $1280 and he’ll face court at a later date.

That night, about 10.15pm, police intercepted a man driving west on Mount Road in Healesville.

They allege he was drink-driving, driving while disqualified and driving an unregistered car.

Officers also impounded his car for 28 days at the same cost.

On Sunday 19 May, Act Sgt Stewart said police intercepted a 19-year-old from Croydon about 9.45pm.

They allege he was travelling at 97km/h in a 70 done on Maroondah Highway in Coldstream.

He’ll lose his licence for three months in 28 days’ time and received a $443 fine.

“We’re urging drivers to do the right thing, especially with the road toll so high,” Act Sgt Stewart said.
