Derbyshire Constabulary's armed response unit, along with the road policing unit, stopped the car on the M1 yesterday (January 11).

The driver was stopped by three police vehicles after the hire car was not returned, and the driver ignored all contact from the company as well as police.

"Can’t ignore 3 of our vehicles and a Derbyshire ARU ARV gently persuading him stop." Derbyshire road police said.

"Vehicle recovered and investigation ongoing with South Yorkshire Police."
