The officers conducted enquiries to see if the delivery driver had business insurance but checks showed the driver did not have any insurance to drive the car.

The vehicle was seized and whilst PC Simpson dealt with the driver for road traffic offences, PC Rawson hand delivered the customer's delivery to ensure they received their order.
