‘PLAYBOY’ driver flirting with danger

A car with an allegedly stolen PLAYBOY registration plate drove through oncoming traffic to evade Geelong police last month.
Police released images and security camera footage in their efforts track down the driver after the dangerous incident on 20 September.
Geelong Highway Patrol members observed a white Holden Commodore perform a burnout at the intersection of Colac and Pigdons roads, about 12.30pm.
Police saw the sedan travel west towards the Geelong Ring Road and Waurn Ponds Drive roundabout.
They attempted to intercept the driver, who turned onto the exit ramp of the Geelong Ring Road, travelling south into oncoming traffic.
The car turned around, driving toward police before stopping halfway up the exit ramp and performing multiple burnouts.
The driver then travelled back into oncoming traffic up the off ramp before continuing south on the Geelong Ring Road towards Anglesea Road.
Police said the sedan had a pink registration plate of ‘PLAYBOY’ affixed to the front of the vehicle, and a plate TKG 222 to the rear.
They believed both plates to be stolen.
Police described the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle as a Caucasian man in his early twenties, who was wearing a hooded jumper at the time.
They urged anyone with information to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au
