POLICE in North Yorkshire have been stopping drivers as part of a road safety operation.

Throughout the Easter weekend roads policing officers have been taking part in Operation Boundary.

Traffic Constable David Minto was one of those taking part.

He said: "My team have been in Craven over the last couple of days for Operation Boundary.

"There was a varied mix of vehicles and other road users using the highways over the Easter break.

"I couldn’t avoid noticing this. The load had moved during the journey and a strap/ratchet had come  loose.

"I helped the driver in securing the load before I was content to allow him to continue his journey.

"He has been reported for driving a vehicle/trailer with an insecure load and also the incorrect registration plate affixed to the trailer."
