Stolen car seized after a sharp-eyed off-duty police officer spotted it being driven 'erratically' near Harborough

A stolen car has been seized by police after a sharp-eyed off-duty officer spotted it being driven “erratically” near Market Harborough.

The white SUV’s driver was quickly stopped by a patrol car after the alarm was raised.

Officers made one arrest as they found the vehicle had been stolen last month – and was carrying false number plates.

“The driver of this car was seen to drive erratically near to Market Harborough earlier by an off-duty officer and stop-checked shortly afterwards.

“Found to have been stolen last month and on false number plates,” said Harborough police.

“One arrested and a very grateful owner updated.”
