THREE probationary drivers had their vehicles impounded and were fined after being filmed by a drone hoon driving in Mornington on Wednesday 21 February.
The trio, a 20-year-old male and a 19-year-old male from Frankston, and a 20-year-old male from Langwarrin, were arrested when Somerville Highway Patrol responded to complaints of hoon driving in Milgate Drive, Mornington.
With the assistance of the police drone operated by Mornington police, the three were caught on camera performing burnouts.
All vehicles were impounded on the spot for 30 days, with two of the vehicles issued defect notices.
The men will be charged on summons at a later date for improper use of a motor vehicle and using unsafe vehicles.
Anyone with information related to hoon drivers is urged to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make an online report at crimestoppersvic.com.au
