A 43-year-old Risdon Vale woman has been disqualified from driving for 24 months after being caught drink driving in South Arm yesterday.

Following information from the public, around 5:30pm police intercepted a white Toyota Prado with a smashed windscreen.

Police took the woman driver into custody where she returned a breath alcohol reading of 0.236, over 4 times the legal limit.

Acting Sergeant Mcvilly of Bellerive Police said, “Tasmania Police has a clear message to drivers – don’t drink and drive, we’re always on the roads, and you will get caught.” 

If you have witness information or dash cam footage of the vehicle in the area around the time yesterday and you haven’t already spoken to police, please ring Bellerive Police on 131 444. 

Police thank members of the public who provided assistance at the time.
