POLICE stopped a car on a major Bradford road after they saw a ladder hanging out of the boot.

The white Volkswagen Golf was spotted by Operation Steerside officers on Mayo Avenue in the south of the city on Wednesday.

A picture shows a ladder extending out from the open boot.

Police say they dealt with the driver for having an insecure load.

A post on the Operation Steerside X page read: "We couldn't ignore this on Mayo Avenue @WYP_BradfordS earlier today.
