The Liverpool Highway Patrol has charged 57 offenders with a combined 106 offences following investigations into dangerous driving in the area. The crackdown comes after a series of organised social car events held at various locations in Liverpool and Wetherill Park, including Greenway Plaza, The Grove, and the Len Water Estate complex.
Investigation Details
These events, which attracted large crowds and vehicles, led to instances of dangerous driving as participants left the gatherings. Law enforcement utilised CCTV footage and mobile phone recordings from multiple angles to identify and charge the 57 offenders involved with 106 offences.
Additional Enforcement Actions
In addition to the charges, Liverpool Police and Transport for NSW (TfNSW) have issued 90 defect notices for vehicles that were deemed unroad worthy or heavily modified. This joint operation underscores the ongoing commitment of NSW Police to combat dangerous driving and improve road safety for all users.
