Two arrests and 75 litres of suspected stolen fuel seized by police
Police made two arrests and seized 75 litres of suspected stolen fuel after stopping a cloned vehicle in the Black Country.
The vehicle, which was stopped in Dudley, is believed to have been involved in several bulk fuel thefts across the Midlands region.
Officers used pre-emptive tactics to prevent a pursuit, said police.
WMP Traffic tweeted about the incident and published photographs showing a grey vehicle, which appeared to be a Citroen, and several fuel containers.
