A dodgy detail was discovered on a set of number plates after cops pulled over a driver for allegedly speeding.
The 24-year-old was allegedly caught driving 120km/h in a 100km/h zone along the M5 motorway near Revesby, Sydney[2]‘s south-west, at 9.55pm on Sunday.
Cops quickly realised that the number plates on the car appeared to have been tampered with.
Black ink from a pen had been scrawled across them with the plates containing a combination of false numbers and made-up letters.
Police also discovered the man’s licence had been suspended after he allegedly failed a drug test hours earlier at Bateman’s Bay, on the NSW[3] south coast, at 2.30pm.

Officers performed another drug test before it allegedly returned a positive result.
They then searched the man and his vehicle and found a resealable bag that allegedly contained drugs.
The driver was arrested and taken to Bankstown Police Station, but officers became suspicious that he was hiding something.
Police searched the man again and found another resealable bag in his rectum, which also allegedly contained drugs.
He was charged with exceeding the speed limit, driving with altered number plates, breaching bail conditions, driving whilst prohibited from driving (suspended) and possessing prohibited drugs.
He will front Bankstown Court House at a later date.
