A driver wanted on recall to prison was arrested after police stopped an HGV displaying cloned registration plates near North Muskham.
Two volunteer rural special constables located the vehicle on 24 October after receiving information that it was believed to be using cloned plates.
Police intelligence, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras and local knowledge helped officers trace its movements and identify its likely route. The HGV was then stopped away from the busy A1.
Checks established that the driver had supplied false details, did not hold the correct entitlement to drive an HGV and was disqualified from driving, police said.
Officers also found that the driver was wanted on recall to prison. The suspect was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences.
In a separate incident, the special constables identified a vehicle in the Harworth area which police described as linked to criminality. The force also reported insurance and licence offences in connection with that vehicle.
