POLICE in Whitchurch have seized a "dangerous" car that also didn't have an MOT or tax.

Officers revealed on Twitter that the vehicle had been taken, having been driven locally without an MOT or any tax.

The car was found in a very bad condition, officers said in a post on social media, with three wheels being used with missing bolts, a smashed windscreen, two bald tyres, and defective headlights and windscreen wipers.

According to the SNT's Facebook post: "The owner will not be allowed the vehicle back until they pay costs, tax the vehicle and have a booked MOT appointment."
