Elsewhere, in Newcastle’s West End, a driver who seems completely unaware they’re being stopped is pulled over – officers soon find out they’re driving without a license or insurance, and have cannabis in their system.
Meanwhile, PC Martain Anderson responds to the scene of a serious crash involving a motorbike and a car over in Sunderland. Investigators hope dashcam footage might hold the vital clues needed to understand exactly what happened.
