Police in Staveley stopped a Ford Fiesta after they suspected the driver had links to thefts from other vehicles in Derbyshire.
While officers were searching the driver’s vehicle which they said had ‘obviously been out thieving during the night’ they found a number of stolen sat navs, alcohol and car accessories, including a duck cuddly toy.
The driver was arrested while the victims were still assumed to be asleep.
