Officer's from East Leicester Police came across a vehicle parked fully on the pavement at the corner of Osborne Road & Stanhope Street today causing an obstruction.
A traffic ticket was issued, meaning a fine for the driver, during the process of issuing the ticket, a male arrived claiming he wasn’t the driver but had keys to the vehicle.
He was unable to prove ownership, stating that the vehicle had been loaned to him. The car keys were retained for safekeeping by the officer's while enquiries continued, shortly later, the registered owner appeared and was issued the ticket for the parking offence.
Further checks on the male who had the keys through the immigration systems revealed he was an overstayer, and he was promptly arrested.
