POLICE pulled over a Porsche driver after receiving a call of a suspected kidnapping – which turned out to be a father and son arguing.
An unknown member of the public called the cops after witnessing two men fighting on the hard shoulder of the M40 on Saturday.
One male forced the other into a Porsche Panamera before driving off, prompting a call to Warwickshire Police.
Police managed to track the £92,000 sports car and used TPAC tactics to bring it to a stop at Warwick Services, Warwickshire.
