A VEHICLE has been stopped by police after travelling with an insecure load.

The Peugeot van was spotted by officers in Hopwas on 27th December travelling with a bungee cord lashed between the rear doors.

A Staffordshire Police spokesperson said:

> “The vehicle was stopped by the road crime team and the driver dealt with accordingly.  
>  
> “A bungee cord is not an acceptable method of securing a load, nor is it acceptable for a load to protrude beyond the vehicles capacity.”
