PCSO for Oswestry, Peter Roberts, said a driver fled the scene of a crash on the A5.
Officers were able to track down the vehicle and found it at the Lion Quays Resort & Spa near Gobowen.
Police said the van had been untaxed for five months, and so it was seized and loaded onto a recovery vehicle.
A post on West Mercia Police's Neighbourhood Matters page said: "Following reports of a collision on the A5, one of the drivers fled the scene. The vehicle was later located at the Lion Quays Resort & Spa, but unfortunately for the driver, it had been untaxed for five months. As a result, it was removed from the area.
