A car connected by a USB cable was stopped by police after the trunk became unsafe.
Sale officials spotted the vehicle on Chester Road in Stretford on Saturday (June 19) when they noticed the contents of the trunk were waiting to fall onto the street.
When the officers stopped the driver, they found that a USB cable was used to secure the trunk and has not been connected since then.

It’s not the only unusual thing the police have had to deal with this week, either.
A driver in Rochdale reportedly drove into a police car over the weekend after being followed by officers.
Then he started jumping up and down the roof to escape.
