Police are appealing for the person with the original footage allegedly showing Manchester City star Erling Haaland using his phone while driving to send it to police.
Footage was published in The Sun yesterday (March 28) appearing to show the 22-year-old striker with his smartphone in his hand whilst behind the wheel of his £300,000 Rolls-Royce. The footage allegedly shows Haaland driving on Oldham Road near to the Royal Mail sorting office out of the city centre, a short distance from the Etihad Stadium.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) confirmed yesterday that they were aware of the footage circulating online and have now issued an update appealing for whoever took the footage to come forward. It’s illegal to hold and use a phone, sat nav, tablet, or any device that can send or receive data, while driving or riding a motorcycle, and can result in six points on a licence and a fine.
