Black day for hoon
THE 19-year-old driver of a black ute is looking at parting with more than $1000 after police charged him on summons in relation to hoon driving.
Warburton police said the move came after they received several complaints about the vehicle.
Senior Constable Kevin Bishop said police spoke to a Millgrove man about 7.30pm on 24 March and he has been served a notice to surrender his vehicle for it to be impounded for a month and for him to face court.
Anyone who witnesses dangerous or anti-social driving should report it to police through triple zero immediately.
Girls injured
WARBURTON police are continuing their investigations after two Launching Place girls were injured, one seriously.
Senior Constable Tony Pagels of Warburton police said the girls in their late teens were on the back of a ute that was being driven on private property near Matlock on 8 March when they fell off as the ute went around a bend.
One of the girls was taken to The Alfred with serious head injuries while the other was taken to Wangaratta Hospital with leg injuries and later released.
The 20-year-old driver from Wesburn is assisting police with their inquiries.
