Pair given tickets from police driving from Scotland to Wales to pick up 'bargain' BMW
Two people who got themselves a 'bargain' on a BMW also picked up tickets from the police for a non-essential journey all the way from Scotland to Wales.
Newtown's Roads Policing Unit in Powys has been carrying out checks on roads in the area over the past few weeks, handing out several penalty notices to drivers whose journeys were not considered essential.
