The post added: “He was unable to provide any valid insurance for the vehicle, or even a driving licence.

“Further inquiries on the male showed that he was wanted for three offences (which would explain his sudden interest in the outdoor activities!).

" The male was then arrested so that he could attend the next available court date.”
