Man coughs and splutters at Lincolnshire police staff in speed camera van

Police in Lincolnshire have launched an investigation after a man is believed to have deliberately coughed and spluttered at employees working in a mobile safety camera van.

A motorist in what is thought to be a Transit van, pulled up alongside the vehicle on Lincoln Road in Sleaford yesterday afternoon (13 May).

The motorist is then believed to have left his van and walked to the mobile safety camera vehicle before coughing inside it. He then got back into his van and drove off.

Part of the van’s registration plate was captured by our cameras and officers are investigating.

Superintendent Paul Timmins, Head of our Specialist Operations Unit, said:
