A spokesperson for West Mercia Police's operational policing unit said in four hours they carried out more than 150 checks on vehicles.

Drivers of 10 vehicles will be despondent after having them seized and carried off on the back of a truck.

Some 28 drivers were reported, and three vehicles were prohibited from being used on the roads.
