Police catch driver performing burnout

Dandenong FTU intercepted a driver in Narre Warren on Sunday 6 February.

A driver had his vehicle impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1,019 after performing a burnout in front of police.

On Sunday 6 February members from the Dandenong Frontline Tactical Unit were patrolling in Narre Warren when they approached the roundabout at Josephine Avenue and Victoria Road.

As they drew closer, a black Holden Commodore let the wheels spin as it went to enter the roundabout, leaving fresh tyre marks and smoke coming from the rear of the car.

The Commodore was intercepted and the driver was spoken to by police.

It was revealed the driver had prior convictions at court for driving a vehicle causing loss of traction.

As a result, the driver will appear in front of a Magistrate at a later date.
