This van was seen displaying false plates and we suspected it may have been stolen! We deployed stinger and brought it to a halt leaving the driver feeling deflated 🫢. It wasn’t stolen but the driver was disqualified! Van seized, driver arrested! 👋🏻 #ANPRInterceptors
The driver of this Mercedes in #Westbromwich sneakily tried to get his partner to insure him online after being stopped. That’s not how that works… and we weren’t born yesterday 🤦 he already has 9 points so will likely be banned on conviction.
