A 28-year-old Canberra man has been charged with identity fraud, after being pulled over by police on the Hume Highway near Goulburn yesterday.

Police allege the man from Braddon, whose ACT licence was disqualified for traffic offences, presented police with a false NSW drivers licence.

It is alleged that when officers from the Southern Region Traffic & Highway Patrol Command searched his car, they found another three fake licences and a fraudulent Medicare card.

When further inquires were made into the man, it was found he had previously been pulled over by officers from the Macquarie Fields Traffic & Highway Patrol Command in July.

During that traffic stop police alleged another fraudulently licence had been presented.

Following yesterday’s traffic stop, the man was arrested and taken to Goulburn Police Station, where he was refused bail.

Records showed the man was currently disqualified from driving until July 2018 from offences allegedly committed in the ACT.

Traffic & Highway Patrol Command officers charged the man with 12 offences allegedly committed during the two traffic stops.

The offences included exceeding the speed limit by 20 kilometres per hour, five counts of document falsification, four counts of unlawfully possessing documents that resembled Australian driver licences, and two counts of driving while disqualified.

He will appear in Goulburn Local Court today.
