Six drink-driving incidents, with two of them high-range drink-driving cases, were recorded across Echuca-Moama on Friday and Saturday nights.

A 50-year-old Bamawm woman, stopped by police at 3am on Sunday, allegedly returned a reading of 1.22.

A 22-year-old Echuca man allegedly returned a reading of 1.14 after being stopped by police at 4.30am.

Three other drink-driving incidents were recorded across Friday and Saturday nights in Echuca, with another incident in Moama on Saturday night.

Acting Sergeant Shelley Parker said it appeared all drivers caught in Echuca were locals and it was disappointing the message around the dangers of drink-driving was going unheeded.
