Police say they stopped a wanted driver who was allegedly on cocaine, using a phone, and had a wrongly attached trailer.
Last night (February 15), the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire Road Policing unit shared pictures from an arrest in the M25 near Watford.
The force said that the driver had initially been spotted on their phone, but after the stop the officers discovered a string of issues.

They reportedly found that he had cocaine in his system and then checking the Police National Computer system revealed he was wanted.
The force’s vehicle checks also revealed an attached trailer did not have a breakaway cord.
A breakaway cable or secondary coupling engages the trailer’s brakes or otherwise stops the trailer if it becomes detached from the vehicle. This must be used when towing a trailer.
The driver was arrested and has appeared in court, police confirmed.
