Police swooped on Manchester Airport on Monday (May 12) and stopped a limousine that was dropping off passengers.
Officers from Greater Manchester Police said the ‘surprising vehicle’ was stopped and later seized after being driven with the incorrect insurance.
Pictures taken outside the airport showed the white limo after the driver had been stopped by officers. The vehicle was seized under S165 of the Road Traffic Act and the driver was issued a traffic offence report.
