Police stopped a driver on a motorway with a fridge, mattress and a table tied to their car roof with "very thin rope".

Essex Police shared a picture of the vehicle, external on Facebook and urged drivers not to put "yourself or others at risk".

"We didn't realise we'd have to explicitly say this... but driving on the M11 with a fridge, a mattress and an outdoor foldable table all held by a very thin rope is not safe," said the force's post.

"Please don't do it," it added.

The motorist has been reported for driving a vehicle in a dangerous condition.
