Driver found with 'Legoland licence' after leading police on 35-mile car chase

Police discovered a bizarre 'driving licence' when they stopped a dangerous driver.

Officers are believed to have attempted to stop the vehicle in London, before pursuing the suspect out of the capital. And according to reports, the driver only stopped when he ran out of petrol.

A pink driving licence, which states that the holder is an 'official member of the Legoland Driving School', was found in a car following a chase. Cops also found a large amount of cannabis in the vehicle and the driver was arrested, a spokesman for Kent Police's Road Policing Unit confirmed.

Sharing an image of the 'licence' and the drugs on Twitter, @KentPoliceRoads tweeted: "No, the #LegoLand license was not the reason for the drivers dangerous driving, the large amount of cannabis was.

"The driver was pursued from #Bexley to #IsleOfSheppey & arrested for a multitude of offences last week by #RPU1, @KentPoliceSwale, @MPSRTPC & @NPASLondon."

The National Police Air Service London helped track the suspect vehicle with a helicopter during the early hours of Monday February 28.
