Driver over five times the limit in Albion

Keilor Downs officers have caught a high range drink driver in Albion last night.

Officers were on patrol when they spotted a silver Holden Sedan being driven erratically along Ballarat Road about 8.40pm.

The Holden was intercepted, and the driver from Manor Lakes underwent a preliminary breath test which returned a positive result.

He accompanied police to a local station and underwent an evidentiary breath test, where he returned an alleged reading of 0.290.

The 38-year-old was issued an immediate driving ban and will be charged on summons with exceeding the prescribed content of alcohol whilst driving, as well as other driving offences.

His car was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1014.90.
