MORE than 100 drivers have been charged as part of a three-month operation undertaken by Frankston Police and the TAC. Operation “Imminence” has been running throughout 2025. Since its commencement 122 traffic offences have been detected with 110 drivers charged. Police say five drivers were alcohol-affected and five vehicles were impounded. In total police spent an extra 286 hours on Frankston roads, performing 1397 breath tests.
The final preliminary testing site for the operation was set up in Langwarrin. A man was taken to Frankston Police Station where he returned a reading of 0.152 after allegedly attempting to avoid the site. His vehicle was impounded by police and his licence was suspended.
In a statement, Victoria Police said “unfortunately, this year the Road Toll has continued to climb, 13 lives lost more than this time last year. Police will continue to be out in force throughout the remainder of the year, targeting substance affected drivers removing them from our roads.”
