'The copper's nose' led to a wanted man being caught in Warwickshire. The force said that the time-old police intuition led to the arrest on the M1 near Rugby. A van flashed
up on an ANPR camera as possibly being cloned. Two officers pulled it over on Junction 16 of the M1. Warwickshire Police say that the pair sensed something was not right when they spoke to
the driver. "On speaking to the driver, it became clear that he did not have a full driving licence – and the van wasn’t insured," a force spokesperson said. READ MORE: FORD FOCUS

the feeling there was a little more to this. A few more enquiries and it turned out that the driver, a Bradford man in his twenties, is wanted in connection with a burglary that happened in
September last year." As a result, the officers seized the van. The wanted man, who has not been identified, was arrested. He was taken into custody where he was due to be questioned in
relation to a suspected burglary.
