An abandoned car was found on fire in nearby Rouse Hill a short time later.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.

Man allegedly three times the legal limit while speeding through a school zone

A man has been charged with high-range drink driving after he was allegedly detected speeding through a school zone during school drop-off in Sydney’s west.

Police were patrolling Flushcombe Road in Blacktown about 8.30am on Wednesday when they spotted a Toyota C-HRV allegedly travelling at 82km/h in a 40km/h school zone – more than twice the speed limit.

They pulled over the driver to perform a roadside breath test, which allegedly returned a positive result.

The 43-year-old driver was arrested and taken to the police station, where a secondary breath analysis allegedly returned a reading of 0.163 – more than three times over the limit.

He was issued a court attendance notice to appear at Blacktown Local Court on 17 July 17.

The man was also issued an infringement notice for speeding and had his driver’s licence suspended.
