A spokesperson for Warwickshire Police's OPU department said: "It turns out that the male driver was under the influence of cocaine, was disqualified from driving and he had no insurance so he was arrested.
"The female, the registered keeper, did not have a driving licence so she was reported for this and for permitting the male to drive the vehicle without a licence or insurance.
"It transpires that the wig was a ruse to give the appearance of a female in a failed bid to avoid detection."
