Searches of the vehicle uncovered cash and Class A drugs along with a number of mobile phones.

A police spokesperson said: “The driver was arrested for numerous offences and it turns out the rear lights were the least of his worries.

“It’s fair to say that the person behind all this was definitely on Santa’s naughty list and the only present he had from us for Christmas was a concrete bed for the evening.”

No age was given of the person arrested or details of where the arrests took place.
