Belfast motorist caught driving in Antrim whilst banned was then 'left to bus stop' by police

A motorist caught driving whilst banned was "left to a local bus stop" after being detected by police.

Christopher Chidavaenzi (41), of Glantrasna Drive, Belfast, came to police attention at Ballyrobin Road near Antrim town on December 10 last year.

He had been banned in November and a defence solicitor said after taking time off work to cover part of the ban he returned to work fixing coffee machines which required driving.
