POLICE are cracking down on drivers using hand-held mobile phones at the wheel in North Yorkshire, and they've roped in a local firm to help them.

Police in Scarborough and Eastfield have teamed up with local double-decker bus company EYMS to help with a new road safety operation, which involves PCSOs riding on the top deck of buses acting as “spotters”.
