WA Police have confirmed they are trialling a new speed monitoring device, with reports dozens of drivers were caught out on Great Eastern Highway.

The odd-looking device was reported to Radio 6PR’s Breakfast show by a caller to the Rumour File - who suggested speeding drivers on Great Eastern Highway were being stung by a “machine hidden inside a box.”

Photographs subsequently emerged of the unusual-looking device, as WA Police confirmed the new technology being experimented with.

“WA Police Force can confirm it is trialling a new speed monitoring device. This is part of ongoing efforts to find new and innovative ways to enforce laws that enhance road safety for all users,” Police said in a statement to 7 News Perth.

Drivers would be particularly interested by the “camera in a box” given the double demerits over the Easter long weekend.
