Two drivers have been stopped in separate parts of North Wales after being spotted with some unusual items attached to their vehicles.

 

A man was pulled over on Connah’s Quay High Street after officers spotted a moped hanging out of his boot.

Police said a passenger was also perched on the back seat of the car, which was folded down, and was not wearing a seat belt.

They warned that they could easily have been hurt in a collision.

Meanwhile, members of the roads policing unit seized a car in Pentir, Gwynedd yesterday after the driver drew their attention by having a sofa on their roof.

Upon checking, they discovered the occupant had no insurance and they were reported to be summoned to court.

In a post on Facebook, officers joked that the individual was “taking sofa surfing to the next level”.
