Man disqualified for drink driving was stopped by police driving home from court

A man who was disqualified from getting behind the wheel of a car for 12 months was then stopped by police while driving home from his court appearance. The unnamed Gwynedd resident had been found guilty of drink driving on Tuesday and was given a year-long ban.

But that still didn't stop him from then getting in his car and begin travelling back to his home in Pwllheli. However, officers from North Wales Police's Gwynedd South team were on hand to explain to him the finer points of his sentence - whilst reporting him for driving whilst disqualified with no insurance.

"He thought it was a good idea to drive from court in his car - subsequently the vehicle was seized," posted someone from NWP Gwynedd South on social media. They added: "Positive result."
