POLICE have criticised a motorist for "one of the worst tyre offences" they had seen after pulling over a vehicle in Ulverston.

Officers from Cumbria Roads Police arrested the motorist in Ulverston on Saturday night.

After pulling over the car, officers discovered one of the vehicle's tyres was severely worn down with barely any tread remaining.

The motorist was breathalysed and arrested on suspicion of being more than twice the drink-drive limit.
