A disqualified driver has reportedly given a false name to police in Swindon.

Roads policing officers stopped a white Volkswagen Golf GTI on County Road this afternoon (Tuesday).

The suspect driver was recognised by an officer – but proceeded to give made-up details.

“The driver didn’t recognise the officer and proceeded to provide false details”, a spokesperson said.

Adding: “The officer recognised the driver and the truth came out!”

The driver has since been reported to court for driving whilst disqualified, driving without insurance and obstructing a police officer.
