She was stopped, and police noticed she was on a zero-alcohol licence and had an alcohol interlock installed in her vehicle. ‘‘It was good to get her off the road,’’ Snr Sgt Dinnissen said. Snr Sgt Dinnissen said police located the vehicle and the officers ‘‘did some good work’’ with education and prevention. The driver was a 57-year-old forbidden driver breaching his bail, and in the passenger seat was a ‘‘high-risk recidivist’’ shoplifter.
