A HUSBAND and wife were left amazed after a police officer turned up at their door with a Domino's pizza.

Harden couple Toni and Paul Robson, 34 and 41, were settling down last Thursday evening to enjoy a tasty pizza from the takeaway's Bingley store - one of five in the Bradford district.

When it took over an hour and a half to arrive, they rang the store and decided to cancel their order.

Little did they know, the delivery driver had just been stopped by police and arrested on suspicion of drug driving.

Toni said: "While my husband and I argued over who would be making the fish finger sandwiches we were going to be having instead, there was a knock at the door. To our surprise, it was the police.

"The officer asked my husband: 'Have you ordered a pizza tonight?'. He replied saying: 'Erm, yes we have'.

"The officer said: 'Well, we have just arrested the delivery driver on suspicion of drug driving, so thought we would bring you your pizza as I would be really annoyed if it was my pizza just left in the back of his car'.

The officer delivered the pizza on his way to the cells with the suspect in the vehicle.

West Yorkshire Police confirmed to the Telegraph & Argus that a 46-year-old male was arrested for drug driving on Thursday in the Harden area.

He has since been released pending blood results.

Domino's told the T&A it is assisting police with their enquiries on the matter.

"We don't live far away so they must have just been around the corner," Toni added.

"It was slightly cold but still a lot better than the fish finger sandwich we would have been having.

"All our family and friends just thought it was hilarious and legendary of the police for bringing us our pizza.

"A big thank you to West Yorkshire Police."

Domino's say each one of their drivers completes safe driving training before they are employed.

A spokesperson from the takeaway said: "The safety of the public and our colleagues is our main priority when our drivers are out delivering pizzas, and all of our delivery drivers complete comprehensive safe driving training when they join our business.

"While we're unable to comment on an open investigation, we are assisting the police with their enquiries on this matter.”

A police spokesperson said: "The arresting officers delivered the pizza as it was en route to the cells.  The driver was released pending blood results."
