Warrant arrest

A 36-year-old man was arrested by Wyndham police after he drove through an automatic number plate recognition site in Laverton last Tuesday. The man was arrested on a warrant for the alleged theft of a motor vehicle. In 2015, the man allegedly drove a stolen car through a preliminary breath test site in Hoppers Crossing.

The man and woman were allegedly caught driving in a stolen vehicle. Police also issued more than 20 infringement notices for traffic-related matters to other motorists on the same day.

He will appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on December 5.
