A Southwick man spent Christmas behind bars after providing false information to police in relation to a speeding offence, police said.

On 29 May 2017, a white Ford Focus which was travelling at 36mph in a 30mph zone activated a speed camera in Ditchling Road, Brighton, police said.

A Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) was sent to the registered keeper in Hove, but no response was received, according to police.

Therefore a new NIP was sent to Colin Drewitt-Barlow at an address in Sompting on the basis the vehicle was insured to him, police confirmed.
