A man has been charged with multiple traffic offences including operating as a taxi without a licence and drink driving.

Christopher Stirling, of Nottingham Road, Alfreton, was stopped by a police patrol on Derby Road, Ripley, at around 3am on Saturday, August 4.

He was arrested and later charged with operating as a private hire vehicle without a licence, drink driving, and driving without a licence, insurance or valid MOT.

The 24-year-old is due to appear before magistrates in Chesterfield later this month.

Amazed and delighted he got caught.

Only just seen this, the bonehead was operating about 200 yards from the force HQ in Ripley meaning police cars equipped with ANPR were leaving and entering there on a regular basis throughout the night. Well done in catching him I reckon.
