Police community support officer (PCSO) Sarah Williams found the vehicle parked on Sandford Avenue last night (June 5).

Investigations determined that the van did not have any valid road tax, and so it was seized and loaded onto a recovery vehicle.

It said: "Please ensure that your vehicles are Taxed, MOT and insured, otherwise police will take positive action."
