Beldon reckless driving: Police search for driver allegedly doing burn outs on Gwendoline Drive school zone

Police have called for help from the public to find a driver who was allegedly hooning in a school zone in Perth’s northern suburbs while students were in the area.

The driver was allegedly doing burnouts in a grey Holden Commodore on Gwendoline Drive in Beldon about 8.20am.

Belridge Secondary College lies on the road and primary schools are close by.

Police found the car at a nearby home on Cumberland Drive about 10.40am, and impounded the vehicle.

Road policing Commander Mike Bell said he is extremely disappointed to continue to see dangerous driving on WA roads.

“This incident is beyond disappointing, people recklessly endangering the lives of innocent road users, while also putting their own life at risk is something we just won’t tolerate,” he said.

“Safety measures around school zones are in place for a very good reason, to protect children who are considered vulnerable road users around school grounds.”

Police have been increasing enforcement as a part of National Road Safety Week, targeting “The Fatal Five” which includes speeding, drink-driving, seatbelts, driver fatigue and distraction.

“WA Police will continue to work as hard as we can in the enforcement space, and we make no apologies for the action we take in trying to stop this type of idiotic behaviour on our roads,” Cdr Bell said.

The top traffic cop is calling for change.

“In light of this week, WA Police urges everyone to commit to safer driving habits, so everyone can remain safe on our roads”

Anyone with information on the incident, including the driver’s identity, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online via this link.
