A man was arrested after police carried out a planned operation in Glasgow.
Officers took over and safely brought a lorry to stop this morning just after 10am in Glasgow's West End.
The force was aware that the driver was allegedly driving while disqualified, so three police vehicles cornered him on Great Western Road as part of a pre-planned operation.
