Van driver turns a Rugby traffic stop into an arrest with his odd attempt to trick police

Things went from bad to worse for a van driver after being stopped in Rugby when police spotted him using his mobile phone behind the wheel.

Officers from OPU Warwickshire stopped the driver - who then decided to give details which officers described as 'clearly false'.

The van driver was arrested and, even while in custody, refused to provide correct details.

Eventually he gave up and admitted who he was - and officers discovered he was disqualified from driving.

We stopped this van in Rugby as the driver was using a mobile phone whilst driving.

Police said the driver will be charged to court for driving whilst disqualified, using a phone whilst driving, no insurance and - thanks to his efforts to hide his identity, a charge of obstruct police will be included.
