‘Fake police’ pull woman over and try to issue virus fine

Humberside Police say they aren’t stopping drivers over COVID-19.

It comes after a woman was signalled to pull over on the Leven bypass, in East Yorkshire, by two men in black zip-up hoodies, carrying walkie talkies and ear pieces, police said.

A spokesman said the men demanded a £60 on-the-spot fine for unnecessary travel but she refused and they drove off.
