After speaking to the driver, officers searched the car and found numerous concealed items that are believed to be stolen goods.
This included nine boxes of electric toothbrushes and multiple boxes of denture cream, muscle gel, nicotine patches, and batteries.
Following the find, three adults from Coventry were arrested on suspicion of theft and handling stolen goods.
The trio were interviewed at Belle Vale custody suite last night, while officers seized their vehicle.
