A DRIVER has had his vehicle impounded for 30 days after allegedly speeding through Wedderburn at 91kmh on Sunday.
Police said said the Braybrook man, 23, was stopped in a 60kmh section of High Street on the Calder Highway.
“The vehicle was intercepted, and the driver was found to be a suspended driver,” they said.
“This driver will also be summonsed to attend court at a later date on numerous driving charges.”
Two days earlier in High Street, police stopped a prime mover and allege the driver, a 35-year-old Mildura man, tested positive to methylamphetamine and was issued an immediate driving prohibition.
He will be summonsed to attend court at a later date.
Meanwhile, police are investigating damage to the Wedderburn Bowling Club green. They believe scooters were ridden across the green between May 31 and June 15 creating indentation marks from the wheels causing damage to the green.
Police said damage would take up to two months to repair.
Anyone with information can contact Sergeant Ben Huismann on 5494 3300.
