Christmas Eve car seizure after cops pull over driver in Oswestry
Police seized a car on Christmas Eve after pulling a driver over in a Shropshire town.
West Mercia Police said the car had been stopped on Castle Street in Oswestry.
An update said the car was seized after the driver was found to have no insurance, a revoked driving licence, and no road tax.
Officers said that the front number plate had also been tampered with to stop it being picked up by ANPR cameras.
A post on social media explained: "Oswestry Safer Neighbourhood Team stopped a silver VW Golf on Castle Street, Oswestry on Christmas Eve.
"The vehicle was subsequently seized as the driver had no insurance, a revoked driving licence and no road tax. It was also noted that the front registration plate had been altered to evade ANPR cameras.
