The officers from the West Midlands Police Road Crime Team were out on patrol in Quinton on Monday morning when they saw the Ford Focus being driven.

The driver was pulled over and police did checks on the car.

Officers said the registration plates had been cloned and the driver was disqualified from driving.

He was subsequently arrested and the car seized by officers.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police Road Crime Team said: "Road Crime Team officers saw this cloned Ford Focus in Quinton.

"It was stopped using tactics to avoid a pursuit and checks found it wasn’t stolen, but cloned to hide the fact the driver was disqualified, so he was arrested."
