Leicestershire Police confirmed the unexpected visitor was "not a Tardis"
Police in Leicestershire were left baffled after a portaloo caused a minor blockage on a road near Lutterworth.
Officers came across the inconvenient convenience while on patrol on Saturday, saying the surprisingly placed toilet looked "like it had decided to go on its own little adventure".

Confirming the blue booth was "not a Tardis", a statement said police kept the road safe and waited for the mobile lavatory's owners to retrieve it.
Describing it as "a new one for the team", the force advised motorists and members of the public to get in touch if they spot unusual blockages on the road "so we can keep things moving".
