A man who bagged a rather cheap Fiat 500 found himself in court after it was snapped by an ANPR camera - and flagged to cops as stolen.
Officers pulled up next to the car following the alert, before seeing Asim Alahi, 29, next to it.
They asked if the car was his.
Alahi, who looked nervous , lied and pointed to a VW Polo, claiming he had approached the wrong car by mistake.
It has been two years since my last visit to Languedoc-Roussillon, that glorious slice of southern France that stretches along the Mediterranean between Carcassonne and Nîmes, and I miss the sunshine, the accent, the scented brush and the wine.

PLANS to build a Costa Coffee drive-thru on the site of a hotel in Flintshire which was ravaged by fire have been refused.

A fire tore through the 40-bedroom hotel, which sits just off the A494, in December 2017, which completely gutted the building. It stood derelict for more than two years before the site was bought by Manchester-based developers Valedown Developments Ltd in March last year. Following the hotel’s demolition, proposals were put forward to create four retail units in its place, including a 1,808 square foot Costa Coffee shop.
