A local man has been charged with several driving offences following a series of incidents in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, between 20 March and 21 March 2026. A warrant for his court appearance was issued on 22 March 2026 following investigations by officers from the Coffs-Clarence Police District.
The incidents occurred within the area overseen by the Coffs-Clarence Police District, which is part of the NSW Police Northern Region. The district operates out of a main office on Beryl Street in Coffs Harbour. Police are using this time to remind the community to stay safe on the roads during current stormy weather conditions.
According to Transport for NSW, drivers should never attempt to travel through floodwater. Those who ignore road closures can face fines that exceed $2,200 under state road laws.
The warnings come as Coffs Harbour expects more than 300mm of rain across 29 days throughout March 2026. Local police resources were recently increased when six new probationary constables joined the force in May 2025 as part of a large recruitment drive.
