However when he stopped the car, PC Willis said he found a child aged just two years old sat unrestrained in the middle rear seat between two adults.

The child's car set was found in the boot, PC Willis added.

His tweet read: "Just stopped this vehicle for exceeding the speed limit on the #M62 Looked in the rear and a child aged 2 was sat, unrestrained, in the middle rear seat, between two adults. On further investigation, the car seat for the child was in the boot!"
