Maffra Police intercepted a Nissan Patrol 4×4 without registration plates on Knight Street, Maffra, at about 7:45pm on Tuesday, December 20.

Police allege the 21-year-old male driver did not have a current driver’s licence, refused a preliminary breath test, and that the Nissan 4×4 was not registered.

The 21-year-old male driver will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date, facing several traffic offences.

Police impounded the vehicle for 30 days; this is the second time this vehicle, driven by the same 21-year-old male, has been impounded this year.

Maffra Police Station officer in charge, Sergeant Anthony Dessent, said police have zero tolerance for ‘hoon’ and traffic offending.

“Repeat traffic offending by a small number of young males in the town will not be tolerated,” Sergeant Dessent said.

“Police have been tasked to actively catch these offenders with a zero tolerance to hoon and traffic offending.”
