Police seized a car with no insurance and no tax from Cleobury Mortimer last Friday.

Officers stopped an X Type Jaguar on Ludlow Road at around 2:30am.

Checks were conducted on the car and its occupants. The checks conducted on the car identified that it was not insured, that the MOT had expired in March 2019 and that there was a Statement of Off Road Notification (SORN) for it.
