A statement by NSW police said that they were patrolling the area when they stopped the vehicle on the highway. "Subsequent checks revealed the vehicle's registration had expired in July 2022," the statement said.
"Police spoke with the driver, a 52-year-old woman, who was allegedly wanted on two outstanding arrest warrants for domestic violence-related offences," the 9news reported.
She was arrested and she allegedly refused to do a breath test.
The police said, "She was charged with the outstanding warrants, use an unregistered motor vehicle on road, use the vehicle on the road or road-related area motor vehicle tax not paid, using an uninsured motor vehicle on road, refuse to produce driver's licence, state name, address, and refuse or fail to submit to breath test."
