A black Holden SS ute has been reported to police for driving erratically and dangerously on Cornelius Street, Coombs.

Police say the ute is known for being driven at high speeds in the area and doing burnouts.

“This kind of driving behaviour poses an unacceptable risk to our community, putting the people, including children who live in that area in danger,” said Insp Donna Hofmeier said.

“Dangerous driving will not be tolerated, and we are committed [to] removing these drivers from our roads.”

Anyone with footage of the vehicle driving dangerously should contact police.
