The announcement was made on the force’s rural cops Twitter account this morning with a picture attached of the device needed to make the arrests.

A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Police said: “In an effort to keep officers and the public safe in these unusual times we will be making arrests remotely from now on.
“Offenders will be asked at a distance to stand still while our latest invention applies cuffs.”
