A man has been held in the hijacking and theft of 3,000 blank British passports and visas, and he's actually the delivery man who was supposed to be delivering them.

A man is being questioned in connection with the theft of 3,000 blank passports and visas worth about £2.5m from a security van in Oldham.

It follows an attack on a security van driver after he stopped at a newsagents shop on 28 July.

The man arrested is understood to be the delivery man who accompanied the driver on his journey.
