Woman 'fined' in fake police stop checks
Humberside Police has said it isn't operating vehicle stop checks after a woman was pulled over and 'fined' by two men appearing to be officials.
The woman was flagged down by two men, who were both dressed in black zip up hoodies, carrying walkie talkies and wearing ear pieces.
They asked the woman where she was going and if the journey was essential before demanding she paid a £60 'fine'.
The woman refused and two men got back into their car and drove away.
It happened on the Leven bypass near Brandesburton, East Yorkshire at about 09:25 this morning.
Police say they're not routinely stopping any vehicles and that we do not have any stop check areas in place.
