A van driver was arrested in Derbyshire yesterday after being stopped during a speed check – and found to be wanted for a number of offences.

On Monday, August 7, officers from the Heanor Safer Neighbourhood Team conducted speed checks in Smalley.

An SNT spokesperson said: “While the majority of motorists were well behaved, the driver of this van wasn't adhering to the speed limit, which resulted in officers having to speak with him.
