Officers stopped a driver in Derbyshire yesterday – and discovered that he was wanted for seven offences.

On Monday, October 31, the Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit stopped a motorist in South Normanton.

A DRPU spokesperson said that the driver of this Mercedes had “triggered our automatic number plate recognition whilst cruising through the county.”
