A scrap metal carrier was stopped in a Worcestershire village for carrying an improperly secured load and lacking a valid waste carrier's licence.
Police stopped a scrap metal carrier in a Worcestershire village after noticing the vehicle was carrying a 'large quantity' of scrap metal that had not been properly secured.
PC Pike carried out further checks and discovered the driver did not hold a valid waste carrier's licence. A Traffic Offence Report was issued to the driver for both the insecure load and the missing licence, and the scrap metal was seized by police.
A Malvern Hills Police spokesperson said: 'Unsecured loads can pose a serious risk to other road users, and anyone transporting waste must ensure they hold the correct licence and comply with relevant legislation.' The force thanked PC Pike and the Roads Policing Unit for their work in keeping roads safe.
