This vehicle failed to stop for Scott McGrath officers before we successfully stung it 100m down the road & detained the driver following a struggle. It may have something to do with his intoxication❗️

1️⃣x under arrest & vehicle seized.

Popping for a cheeky 2am Maccies is fine unless your van is insured on the random trade policy of someone you don't know in a place you don't know, and your licence is revoked.

Driver definitely not 'loving it'.

This veh was stopped on the M6 in Staffs. The driver produced a pic of a foreign photo card licence of someone with a different skin colour and about 20stone heavier than him. When threatened with arrest he remembered his other name (real one). He didn’t have any insurance 5453
