POLICE officers seized a car being driven by a suspected drink driver after it stalled in front of them in Farnworth.
Officers came across the vehicle while waiting for the recovery of a seized van in High Stile Street shortly after 1.15am this morning.
The driver aroused suspicions after a “dodgy turn” before stalling in front of the police car.
GMP Traffic posted a video of what happened on social media this morning.
After stopping the car and making the driver carry out a breathalyser test, police found they also held only a provisional licence and had no insurance.
