Five people were arrested - including one for driving with two passengers in the rear compartment of his van - in what was a busy night for a town’s police officers.
King’s Lynn police stopped a man in his 20s on the A47 at Walsoken on Saturday (May 16) night, and arrested him for dangerous carriage of passengers.
He was also arrested for the obstruction of police, as well as driving while disqualified and without insurance.
The 29-year-old was later charged with all offences and remanded in custody overnight.
