Police pull over 'stolen' van on M1 to find its new owner has no insurance

Derbyshire Police pulled over a stolen van on the M1 to find that it has been recovered and sold on again - and the new owner did not have any insurance.

Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit‏ which pulled over the van they still believed was stolen said: "The van had actually already been recovered following theft and sold on by the insurance company, who didn’t tell us. Sold to this driver who hasn’t insured it."
