Police stopped a car after it was spotted speeding through a red light - then found an 'unrestrained' child sleeping across the back seat.

The car was spotted by officers on Didsbury Road just before 1am this morning (May 9). Police clocked the female driver allegedly going through a red light, before she reportedly reached speeds of 47mph in a 30mph zone.

After officers stopped the vehicle, they found the car had 'three bald tyres' and the driver had no insurance. They then found a child sleeping across the back seat without wearing a seatbelt.
