After failing to stop a young driver for allegedly travelling at excessive speed in a 50kmh zone, police officers just went to his house and waited for him to come home. ‘‘They attempted to stop the vehicle on Gordon Rd, but when they activated their red and blue lights, the vehicle accelerated away. Instead, officers drove to the registered owner's house, and while waiting outside the property, the vehicle pulled into the driveway. ‘‘The 21-year-old male driver was exhibiting signs of recent alcohol consumption. Sgt Lee said the vehicle was being driven by a 20-year-old man, and his license had been suspended for 28 days.
