He was later released on bail.

Further investigation revealed the vehicle had been stolen from a farm in March.

Sergeant Gary Reece, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“We are always on the look-out for vehicles that may be stolen or otherwise involved in criminal activity.

“Our investigation into this individual will now continue as we evaluate the various other bits of evidence we have discovered.”
