ARCHIVED - Man wanted in Sevilla arrested for driving lorry illegally along one-way street in Los Barrios
In addition to an outstanding arrest warrant in Sevilla, the motorist was driving without a licence
Police in Los Barrios have arrested a motorist caught driving in the wrong direction along a one-way street in the town, without a licence, having lost all of his points for previous offences, and subject to an arrest warrant in Sevilla.
The events unfolded when a Local Police patrol witnessed the driver ignore a road sign clearly marking the fact the road was one way, and stopped him.
He was asked for ID and vehicle documentation, and a check of the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) database revealed the driver's licence had been revoked.
Police also confirmed the detainee was wanted by a court in Sevilla which had issued a search, arrest and presentation warrant. The details of the offence have not been revealed.
The matter has been handed over to the Guardia Civil to process the appropriate proceedings ahead of a court hearing.
