Police lodged a child-at-risk report with the Department of Family and Community Services after a woman was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol while having three children in the car.

About 1.30am yesterday (Sunday, July 28), officers from Campbelltown Highway Patrol were conducting proactive patrols in the Blair Athol area, when they stopped a Ford Falcon sedan on The Kraal Drive.

The driver, a 25-year-old woman, underwent a roadside breath test and she allegedly returned a positive result.

Upon inspection of her vehicle, police found two children, aged two and five, not properly restrained.

A six-month-old child in the vehicle was properly restrained.

The woman was arrested and taken to Campbelltown Police Station, where she returned a reading of 0.138.

Her licence was suspended and she was issued a Court Attendance Notice for driving with mid-range PCA.

The woman was also issued two infringement notices for driving with a passenger six months or older but less than four years old not restrained as prescribed.

She is due to appear at Campbelltown Local Court on August 27.

In a separate incident, a 25 year old man was arrested and charged after he allegedly took “up-skirt’’ images of a teenage girl inside a supermarket in Liverpool.

The man, who will appear in court on August 28, has been banned from the shopping centre.

The 16-year-old girl was accompanied by her older sister at the time of the alleged incident.

Police will allege the 25-year-old man walked behind the pair and took an image up the teenager’s skirt without her consent

The man left the supermarket immediately after the alleged incident, which was reported to the police a few days later.

When police received information from shopping centre security staff that the man believed to be involved in the incident had returned to the location they went and arrested him.

During a search of the man’s mobile phone, police allegedly discovered four further videos that were recorded between December 2018 and February 2019.

He was charged with five counts of intentionally recording intimate images without consent.
