A couple were left baffled after receiving a prosecution notice that their Golf GTI had been caught speeding - whilst they were over 1,500 miles away on a holiday in southern Spain.
Gary Thornburn and Clare Beards, from Leeds, had dropped off their car at the Manchester Terminal 3 Meet and Greet on August 3, before they jetted off for 13 days in Murcia. They went on to enjoy almost two weeks in the sun before being met with a prosecution letter from police on their return, on August 16.
The letter, dated August 10, outlines that their car was caught driving at 55mph in a 30 zone, along Alan Turing Way. Pictures in the letter showed a white Golf GTI with the same number plate committing the offence. But the offence occurred on August 5 - two days after the couple had left their car with the official firm.
