Woman discovered in boot of car by police during traffic stop on Hume Highway in Greenacre Sydney

Police uncovered a woman allegedly travelling in the boot of a car during a bizarre Sunday morning traffic stop.

The 26-year-old man behind the wheel, who has never held an Australian driver’s licence, was charged with a string of offences after allegedly failing a roadside drug test and recording a blood-alcohol reading of 0.108 – more than twice the legal limit. 

Officers from Bankstown Highway Patrol in Sydney‘s southwest stopped the car on the Hume Highway in Greenacre following a ‘complaint from a member of the public’.

He was granted conditional bail and is due to appear before Bankstown Local Court on Monday.
