Always interesting when you’re reviewing a phone download from a suspect and see they’ve taken a screenshot of a tweet and taken a picture of the car being recovered from their bedroom window with a quote of “you were good while you [skoda] lasted”

Out early this cold morning assisting our colleagues from Derbyshire South Police CID in arresting male linked to this vehicle on suspicion of domestic violence matters.

Whilst responding to a report of a stolen RS4 near Killamarsh, real-time ANPR hit on this stolen EcoSport.

Strange colour to steal.. not many of these about!

Spidy senses tingled by this one.
Pulled and the driver provides his details for driving licence check. Hmm, no record found.
