A West Midlands motorist was rumbled by cops on the M6 - with his WIFE in the boot.

The driver, from Coventry, had travelled to the North West of England to collect an eBay purchase.

The eBay buyer had bought £15 worth of windows from a seller in Salford, in Greater Manchester, according to police.

Cops confirmed the driver's partner could not fit in the vehicle for the journey back to the West Midlands city.

So the motorist put her in the back of the car, in the boot, as he ventured southbound on the M6.

Cops took to Twitter to tell followers today: "A driver has travelled from Coventry to Salford to collect a £15 EBay purchase of windows."

North West Motorway Police then added: "His wife could not fit in the vehicle so she was travelling in the boot for the return journey when stopped on the M6 Cheshire.

"The driver was given a TOR for the offence."

Twitter users were in disbelief over the incident, with one writing: "You couldn't make this s*** up."

North West Motorway Police revealed the incident in a tweet posted shortly after 3.30pm on Sunday, March 29.

The tweet has been widely shared since it was posted by the force.
