An Australian couple were caught drink driving three times in just three hours on Sunday -- each time a little further along the same street, police said.

Victorian police said they first encountered a 37-year-old man driving along Montague Street in Melbourne shortly after midnight. He was breath-tested and found to be over the legal alcohol limit for driving.

"Police observed the female passenger in the car was also alcohol affected and warned her not to drive," police said in a statement.

Just over an hour later the pair were pulled over again in Montague Street and this time the 27-year-old woman was driving. She was breath-tested and also found to have too much alcohol in her system to drive.

"The pair were nabbed a third time on Montague Street about 3.05 am when the man was breath tested and refused to accompany police back to the station," police said.

The pair had not been arrested but would face drink-driving charges, police added.
