Victoria Police stop speeding drivers on Monash and Tullamarine after Eastern Freeway crash

Only days after four police officers were killed on the Eastern Freeway, two hoons were allegedly caught doing speeds that will shock you.

Hoons speeding at more than 70km/h over the speed limit have been caught on Melbourne highways today just days after four police officers were killed on the Eastern Freeway.

A 49-year-old Gladstone Park man and a 28-year-old Mt Waverley man will both be summonsed to court after two separate incidents.

Victoria Police media officer Nikki Ladgrove said police were patrolling the Tullamarine Freeway when they saw a black Holden Commodore ute doing 156km/h in an 80km/h zone in Gladstone Park at 9.30am.

Ms Ladgrove said officers stopped the car and performed a drug test on the driver — a 49-year-old Gladstone Park man — who allegedly tested positive to methylamphetamine.

She said police impounded the man’s car for a month and will cost him $896.10 to have it released.
