Members of Derbyshire Roads Policing unit stopped the vehicle in Shirebrook, close to the Nottinghamshire border of Mansfield and Warsop, after recieving intelligence that it had been leased to a disqualified driver by the Motability Scheme.

On Twitter Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit stated: "Intel led stop of this one due to it having been leased to a disqualified driver by @MotabilityOps. Unfortunately not them driving but in a twist of fate it was a friend driving who was also disqualified, uninsured and failed a @DrugWipeUK for cannabis.
"Tried hooky details to start with but couldn't answer the probing questions. Vehicle seized and hopefully not being returned by @MotabilityOps The state of the tyres shows the complete lack of respect shown by the person leading this."
