Pair face driving charges

POLICE have arrested a Dunedin woman for driving while suspended, after she almost collided with several vehicles while driving in South Dunedin.

Acting Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said a member of the public called Dunedin police because the 25yearold was driving erratically in Wynyard St about 11.30pm on Wednesday.

She was last seen driving in King Edward St with a male passenger.

Police found the vehicle a short time later at New World

Centre City, where the 29yearold man was found in the driver’s seat, Snr Sgt Bond said.

‘‘The female was arrested for driving while suspended, and returned to Dunedin Central Police Station where she refused to undergo a compulsory impairment test, and subsequently refused to supply a blood sample for analysis.’’

She was bailed to appear in the Dunedin District Court next week.

The man was also charged with refusing bloods and driving while forbidden.

The vehicle they were driving was impounded, he said.
