The combined 367 outstanding warrants were valued at almost $113,000 and payment was received from seven people for 10 warrants worth more than $3000.
Seven drivers with 46 warrants were on Tuesday notified that their driver licence or vehicle registration would be suspended if they did not arrange to pay within seven days.
Sheriff’s Office Loddon Mallee regional manager Roger Williams said people should deal with their fines early to avoid infringements becoming warrants.
“The best way to avoid being identified in a Sheriff’s Operation is to contact us early to discuss your options,” he said.
Individuals can check whether they have outstanding fines by contacting Civic Compliance Victoria on 1300 221 249 or pay outstanding fines at www.fines.vic.gov.au.
