Police spotted a 'dangerous' mountain of rubbish in the footwells of a van belonging to a man who had been arrested in Buckinghamshire.

The rubbish was piled up to such an extent that they were even beneath the pedals.

The Mirror reports Thames Valley Police tweeted a pictured of the van's floor which had takeaway trays, tobacco cartons and even McDonald's bags piled on top of each other.

In the tweet, police said: "Stopped this in Marlow today. A tidy cab - a tidy mind.

"This was so bad it was dangerous, rubbish under foot pedals. Points on licence and fine.

"Driver was arrested for an unconnected matter."

The post proved popular with over 160 people commenting and many were shocked by what they were seeing.

One Twitter user commented on the post: "That's disgusting, I have a moan at my hubby if there's a few pieced of rubbish in the car."

Another person said: "Jesus wept. Two minor positives, he’s obviously not littering, and he does have a balanced diet with the sugar free can on the dash.

"In all seriousness, that is beyond ridiculous."

The driver has been issued a fine and given points on their license.
