A DRINK-driver in a stolen car was arrested in Wythall.

Eagle-eyed officers from Worcestershire Operational Patrol Unit spotted the Kia Picanto on cloned plates.

They worked with a West Midlands Police Traffic Unit and used a stinger to stop the vehicle in its tracks, preventing a pursuit.

Checks showed the car was stolen from Staffordshire last month.

The two people in the car were arrested.




The driver then failed a roadside breath-test and was also held for drink-driving.

The pair were then taken into custody.
