More than five times over

Public Order Response Team officers were left shaking their heads after they picked up a drink driver more than five times over the limit in Golden Square last night.

Officers first spotted the driver in Emmett Street, about 5pm, while following up reports a car had driven into a street sign nearby.

The 55-year-old driver was intercepted and returned a positive breath test before he furnished an evidentiary breath test result of .269.

The man's licence was immediately suspended for a period of 12 months.

It is expected the Golden Square man will be charged on summons in relation to drink driving and other traffic related offences.
