When officers arrived, Seymour-Morris was at the gym but as he pulled up officers noticed him put his hand towards the sunroof.
The phone was seized and found to contain three category A videos, the most severe, and three category C indecent images.
Seymour-Morris was also in breach of one of the conditions of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) handed down after he was convicted of indecent image offences at Guildford Crown Court in April 2018.

On Thursday (3 August), at Peterborough Crown Court, Seymour-Morris, of Sandbank, Wisbech St Mary, was jailed for one year and eight months, having pleaded guilty to distributing an indecent photograph of a child, breaching a SHPO and two counts of making indecent photographs of a child.
DC Claire Cummings said: “We will do everything within our power to bring sex offenders to justice and protect children from harm.
“Seymour-Morris knew what he was doing was illegal so I am glad he has faced justice.”
