Sydney woman caught allegedly drink-driving twice in seven hours, more than five times over legal limit

A woman who was allegedly caught drink-driving twice in seven hours recorded a breath test more than five times over the legal limit.

A Sydney woman is due to face court after she was arrested twice within the span of seven hours for allegedly drink-driving in Sydney’s southwest.

The 43-year-old woman will face Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday after police were tipped to go to a business in Liverpool shortly after midday on Friday.

Officers spoke with the Wattle Grove woman before arresting her and taking her to Liverpool Police Station.

She allegedly returned a breath analysis reading of 0.248 - more than four times over the legal limit.

The woman was charged with high-range PCA and was granted strict conditional bail to appear in Liverpool Local Court on 3 November.

Seven hours later, Liverpool Highway Patrol responded to reports a Suzuki Swift had stopped on top of a roundabout at the intersection of Mivo Street and Bardia Parade at Holsworthy.

It is alleged it was the same 43-year-old woman who again returned a positive breath test.

She was arrested for the second time within seven hours and taken to Liverpool Police Station, where she underwent a breath analysis with an alleged reading of 0.294 - almost five times the legal limit.

The woman was again charged with drive with high-range PCA, drive while suspended, and breach of bail.

She was refused bail and remanded in custody to appear before Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday.
