Over the weekend, a gender reveal party in Melbourne's south-east had some unexpected visitors when the police showed up in response to reports of reckless driving. The incident took place in an industrial estate on Frankston Garden Road in Carrum Downs, where witnesses claimed to have seen blue smoke coming from the tyres of a Holden Commodore.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the burnouts were part of a baby gender reveal stunt performed by the soon-to-be father. The party, which had around 25 to 30 attendees, including young children, was immediately halted when the police arrived after receiving multiple calls to triple zero.
According to reports, some of the partygoers were filming the event while others were surprised by the presence of the police. The Commodore, owned by a 29-year-old man from Frankston North who is believed to be the father of the unborn child, was impounded. The man was fined over $1100 and is expected to face charges for traffic offences.
Senior Sergeant Phillip Hulley from the Somerville Highway Patrol expressed his shock at the incident and revealed that the police were looking into the possibility of other drivers participating in hooning activities at the party. He also warned that attendees could face a fine of $500 for being part of such an event.
In an interview, Hulley said, "We are still gathering CCTV footage and if we find any other unlawful activities, we will definitely take action against those involved." He also added, "We do not tolerate such behavior, as it is extremely dangerous. Drivers have no control over their vehicle when performing stunts like this, and it can result in serious injuries or even death."
Hulley advised people to avoid such dangerous stunts and suggested having a cake instead for gender reveal celebrations. He further appealed to motorists and businesses in the area to provide any dashcam or CCTV footage of the incident to aid in the investigation. It is important to remember that reckless driving not only puts the driver at risk but also endangers the lives of innocent bystanders. Let's all make responsible choices and ensure the safety of everyone on the roads.
