Driver arrested after 'stolen fuel' found in van stopped by officers

Police arrested a driver after finding containers filled with suspected stolen fuel hidden in a van. Traffic officers stopped the vehicle on Thursday.

Hertfordshire Police shared a picture showing 17 clear canisters - some filled with a brown liquid that police suspect is stolen fuel - in the back of a white van. It was stopped on the A10 dual carriageway at Cheshunt, Herts yesterday (June 30).

Police said the driver was in a 'cloned' vehicle - meaning that fake number plates were on the van. Officers said it contained 'suspected stolen fuel'.

BCH Road Policing Unit wrote in a tweet: "Cloned vehicle stopped. Driver and vehicle were subsequently searched. Containers of suspected stolen fuel were discovered.

"Driver provided a positive drugs wipe for cannabis. Driver arrested"
