Officers in Derbyshire chanced upon one of the country’s most wanted men – who police were searching for in connection to 13 different offences.

On Sunday, December 11, the Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit stopped a vehicle at J29A of the M1 at Markham Vale, after their automatic number plate recognition technology indicated that it may contain a wanted male.

In a tweet, a DRPU spokesperson said: “What an understatement that was! Occupant wanted for 13 offences abroad including armed robbery, theft and gang related violence.
