A driving ban is "inevitable" for a man caught drunk behind the wheel of a white van on Friday, police have said.

Officers in King's Lynn stopped a Vauxhall Vivaro after spotting it had a defective headlight.

They soon found the driver had been drinking, and was later found to be over the limit.

A breathalyser test while in custody showed he had 83mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath – more than twice the 35mcg legal limit.

On social media, King's Lynn Police said: "Ban is inevitable which means not being able to drive as part of their job.

"Don't take the risk as drink-driving has massive consequences."

It came after another white van – a Mercedes Sprinter – was seized in the same area after officers found it was uninsured.

And a few hours earlier, police had caught a banned driver who tried to give false details after being stopped.

The man behind the wheel of a black Peugeot 407 was also uninsured, and had tried to avoid revealing his identity by hiding his ID in a bag of shopping in front of officers.
