TWO MEN CAUGHT ALLEGEDLY PERVERTING THE COURSE OF JUSTICE
Two men have been caught allegedly perverting the course of justice, over a drink-driving charge on the Central Coast four years ago.
In October 2011, police attempted to stop a vehicle for a random breath test at Shelly Beach, which resulted in the now 57-year-old driver being charged with drink-driving and resisting arrest.
The criminal proceedings were later dismissed and the man successfully sued the New South Wales Police Force.
But in October this year, a strike force, launched by officers in Newcastle, found a different, 44-year-old man, had allegedly tampered with the evidence.
That man was arrested yesterday and later charged with perverting the course of justice and tampering with evidence.
Meantime, the 57-year-old man was also arrested and charged with perjury, perverting the course of justice and attempted fraud.
They’ll both face Wyong Local Court next month.
