On Wednesday, July 23, a driver was detected travelling at 96km/h in the 60km/h zone on Beach Road, Batehaven.
Senior Sergeant Andrew Palmowski said officers had been told of several high-speed incidents during July, with Catalina residents complaining of regular disturbances.
He said police responded with a speed-enforcement campaign, nabbing one driver on July 16 who was travelling at 92km/h in a 50km/h zone.
Sgt Palmowski urged residents to report makes and models of cars and times of incidents.
“When the public brings it to our attention, we can get good results,” he said.
