Cottesloe police appear to possess a strange
magnetic force which means they don't even have to
go out on the road to nab law-breakers.
They have been delivering themselves to the
front desk of the local police station.
Two young drink drivers arrived separately last
Friday morning followed by a "boof-head" who drove
himself to the station in an unlicensed car on
Monday to pick up some stolen property.
He was known to police and his driving licence
was under suspension.
Both the drink drivers were on their 'P'
plates.
The first had gone to the station at 8.40am to
complain about receiving a move-on notice for being
intoxicated and obnoxious the evening before while
partying in Claremont's nightclub area.
Officers put two and two together and asked him
to blow on the breathalyser. His reading was in
excess of 0.02.
The second drink driver arrived at the counter
just two hours later to complain about being
assaulted the night before.
When asked how he arrived at the station he
denied having driven but police watched him get in
his vehicle and drive away.
When they put him on the breathalyser he blew in
excess of 0.05.
'P' platers are banned from consuming alcohol
and driving. Both have been summonsed to appear in
court.
The boof-head has been charged with driving an
unlicensed vehicle and driving without a licence.
Senior Sergeant Scott Halvorson said drivers
should be aware that alcohol could stay in their
systems until the next morning.
