An alleged hoon who took to social media to boast that he had got away with doing a burnout in front of police has had his car impounded.
Police attended a car meet in Braybrook about 3.30pm on Sunday 19 October.
The 19-year-old Point Cook driver was allegedly mid-skid on Cranwell Street when he spotted officers.
Police issued the man with a defect notice and organised a tow truck to impound the lowered Toyota Supra however due to modifications, the vehicle was unable to be loaded onto the truck.
According to police, the driver then logged onto social media to inform followers that he had bested police.
Officers issued a surrender notice to the driver Thursday 6 November.
Police said the teen will now have to pay to have his vehicle returned after 28 days and will also have to fork out to have the illegal modifications removed from his vehicle.
He is expected to be charged on summons with improper use of motor vehicle, exceeding permitted dimensions and using a vehicle not complying with registration standards.
Westgate Highway Patrol Sergeant Johan Wisewould said police will not allow this sort of behaviour to go unpunished.
“It is extremely dangerous to perform burnouts, particularly around crowds of people where there could be disastrous consequences if you lose control,” he said.
