An ambulance that pulled into Asda whilst flashing its emergency lights was pulled over by police - the driver was discovered to be banned from driving.
Officers in the Harpurhey area saw the occupants of the emergency vehicle - including a family - go into the supermarket to do their shopping at around 10pm this evening (Wednesday).
After being tracked down, police discovered the driver was disqualified from driving and also wanted to be dealt with at court.
The ambulance has since been seized and the driver was arrested.
In a tweet, GMP Traffic said: "This Ambulance was reportedly carrying a family when it arrived at #Asda Harpurhey with blue lights flashing.
