Arsenal's Carl Jenkinson stopped by police before Hull clash

Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson was pulled over by police officers while on his way to yesterday's Premier League match against Hull City.

The 21-year-old was stopped heading to the Emirates ahead of the Gunners' 2-0 victory over the Tigers.

Sgt. Richard Berns told The Mirror: "It's part of a Met-wide campaign to crack down on uninsured drivers. [Carl] had done nothing wrong whatsoever and we had checked hundreds of vehicles that day.

"He just happened to be one of them. A few of my colleagues are Arsenal fans, so it was great for them to meet him."

Sgt. Berns posted a photo on Twitter of the defender with two of his colleagues saying: "Just stopped Carl Jenkinson of @Arsenal. What a nice guy and fully insured!"
