A man has been charged after allegedly being caught drink driving twice on the same day, south of Wollongong.
Police were notified about 1.25pm yesterday (Sunday 20 July 2025), of a damaged SUV being driven in Jamberoo.
A short time later, officers attached to Lake Illawarra Highway Patrol Command located the vehicle in a car park at Kevin Walsh Oval in Churchill Street, Jamberoo.
Police subjected the 67-year-old driver to a roadside breath test, where he allegedly returned a positive reading.
He was arrested and taken to Lake Illawarra Police Station where a breath analysis returned an alleged reading of 0.351. The man was charged with high-range PCA, and drive motor vehicle while licence suspended. The man was released on conditional bail.
About 8pm the same day, officers attached to Lake Illawarra Police District were contacted by a member of the public reporting concerns about the driver of an SUV who was attempting a three-point turn in the car park at the Kevin Walsh Oval.
Officers arrived and found the same 67-year-old man allegedly behind the wheel of the SUV.
He was breath tested, allegedly returning a positive reading.
He was arrested and taken to Lake Illawarra Police Station where he returned a breath analysis reading of 0.267. He was charged with another charge of high-range PCA, drive motor vehicle while licence suspended, and breach of bail.
He was refused bail to appear in Bail Division Court 3 today (Monday 21 July 2025).
