Hawkesbury Police boarded the NSW Maritime vessel on Saturday, November 14, and conducted a joint patrol with a local boating safety officer on the Hawkesbury and Colo rivers between Laughtondale, Wisemans Ferry and Lower Portland.
NSW Maritime undertook several safety inspections with police providing a breath testing capability.
Thirteen breath tests were conducted during the patrol.
A number of offences were identified including riding a PWC with no licence, towing too many persons and lack of safety equipment. Infringements and marine cautions were issued.
Police will continue to work closely with NSW Maritime and resources from the Marine Area Command over Spring and Summer in efforts to maintain safety on our inland water ways.
