Swadlincote Police Seize Off-Road And Uninsured Car Being Driven In Castle Gresley

Swadlincote Police say 'community intelligence' allowed them to take this car off the road in Castle Gresley on Tuesday.

The town's Safer Neighbourhood Team used social media to post a photo of a Volkswagen being loaded on to a truck.

It was taken in as it was registered as being out of use and uninsured.

Yet a man was reported by police as driving it on the road.

Swadlincote SNT posted: "Vehicle seized yesterday evening at Castle Gresley.

"Male driving a vehicle which was notified off-road and not insured.

"Thanks for the community intelligence another car is off the road."
