ACT Policing officers have caught a woman twice overnight for drink driving.

About 10:40pm last night (Saturday, 17 May 2025), officers from Gungahlin Police Station were conducting Random Breath Testing on Gundaroo Drive in Crace.

Police stopped a 34-year-old woman who was subject to a roadside breath test which was positive for alcohol.

The woman was transported to Gunghalin Police Station, where she returned a breath analysis of 0.240. She was issued an immediate suspension notice, suspending her right to drive in the ACT for 90 days.

About 12:40am (Sunday, 18 May 2025), the same officers observed the woman walking in the direction towards her vehicle.

A short time later police saw the vehicle being driven on Gundaroo Drive. Police stopped the vehicle and identified the driver as the same woman from before.

Police subjected the woman to another roadside breath test, which was positive for alcohol. She was taken to City Police Station, where she returned a breath analysis of 0.191.

The 34-year-old woman was arrested by police and will face the ACT Magistrates Court on 16 June 2025. She has been charged with two counts of drink driving and driving with a suspended licence.

Another four drivers were caught drink driving by Gungahlin Police Station officers during the night.

ACT Policing is disappointed to see this on the last day of National Road Safety Week 2025.
