LandCruiser among vehicles involved in illegally converted vehicle attack

The NSW Police Force and Transport for NSW are cracking down on illegally converted vehicles across Greater Sydney. Their latest joint operation took place in the western suburbs and swept up a number of suspicious vehicles.

In a post on its Traffic and Highway Patrol Command Facebook page, the NSW Police Force said it conducted an operation against “unsafe and illegally converted vehicles” in Mt Druitt and Blacktown in western Sydney on Friday, November 21.

The action was also in response to reports from the community about burnouts and other dangerous traffic offenses.

Working with TfNSW staff, NSW Police officers inspected 45 vehicles and issued 20 infringement notices.

They also issued a total of 34 notices of defects. Ten of these only related to minor defects, 14 were yellow defect notices and ten were red defect notices – the latter applied to vehicles that were classified as a safety risk and required the driver to stop operating the vehicle until the defects were corrected.

A cheeky driver who was slapped with a yellow notice of defects had a graphic on his windshield that read, “Notice of defects here.”

It wasn’t just souped-up rear-wheel drive cars that were involved in this raid, but also a pair of lifted Toyota LandCruiser J40 SUVs.
