DRINK DRIVING AT QUORROBOLONG

Police often patrol the outlying areas around Cessnock at all hours of the day and night.

On Sunday evening police were on Old Mill Lane, Quorrobolong when a vehicle drove towards them erratically, allegedly forcing the police vehicle to take evasive action to avoid a collision.

Police stopped the vehicle and the 54-year-old male driver was found to be driving with twice the legal limit of alcohol in his blood.

The man subsequently had his licence suspended and will be attending Cessnock Court.

Police do patrol the back streets, keep drink driving and you will be caught.
