The sheriff’s officer used automatic number plate recognition technology to clamp down on fine evaders in Trentham on Saturday.

The operation was aimed at locating fine evaders and encouraging them to take steps to clear their outstanding debts. Victorian sheriff Brendan Facey said the operation should serve as a reminder that those flouting the law would be caught.
