Watch the moment police find man hiding in car boot after breaking Covid-19 lockdown rules on 160 mile trip

Officers from the North Yorkshire force stopped a car in Leeming Bar on Friday evening after it was shown having no MOT or tax.

After speaking to the five men in the car, officers checked the vehicle over and found a sixth man laying in the boot.

The footage shows the police officer asking to have a look in the car boot.

He asks one of the men: "What is in the back here, owt or nowt?"

The man replies: "Nothing."

When the officer opens the boots, he finds the man inside and says: "Oh, hello, jump out my friend."

None of the men could explain why there were six of them in a car 160 miles from home during lockdown.

All six were given fixed penalty notices for breaking Covid-19 regulations.

After further checks it was also revealed that one of the men was wanted for indecent exposure and for failing to attend court.

He was arrested and the car was also seized.

A force spokesman said: "Thank you to everyone who continues to stay home, stay local and stay safe.

"And, if your journey is essential, please travel carefully and not in the boot."
