Police lay charges over burnouts in Blackheath

A man has been charged and his licence suspended after he allegedly conducted burnouts in the Blue Mountains overnight.

Just before 10pm (Monday 11 November 2019), officers from Blue Mountains Police Area Command were conducting patrols in the Blackheath area, following reports of a utility driving dangerously.

Shortly after, officers saw a Ford Falcon utility with two shredded rear tyres on Hydora Lane, near the Great Western Highway, at Blackheath.

Police stopped the vehicle and spoke to the driver and sole occupant, a 37-year-old man.

It will be alleged in court that the man refused a roadside breath test.

He was arrested and taken to Katoomba Police Station, where he was charged with refuse breath test, refuse breath analysis and prolong, sustain loss of traction.

His Queensland licence was also suspended.

The man was granted strict conditional bail to appear at Katoomba Local Court on Monday 2 December 2019.
