Nissan Sunny GT ooh arr!

Police patrol officers who stopped a Mini Metro believed to have been involved in a road accident found a Shetland pony on the back seat.

Officers found the miniature pony after stopping the vehicle in the county during a routine patrol.

"It is a little unusual" said a spokesman from the force "My pigs prefer a Vauxhall Nova"

The incident was among details of traffic offences listed by Norfolk Police as part of a new road campaign.

Meanwhilst the Constabulary's Crime Reduction Department have launched a new campaign to encourage people buying second-hand vehicles to take a photograph of the seller before they hand over any cash.

The campaign is modelled on an idea developed by West Midlands Police following an increase in the number buyers who are conned into handing over thousands of pounds for vehicles which they later discover are stolen.

But it has run into difficulties with many Norfolk residents mistrustful of anybody trying to capture their soul with the "devil boxes"
