A CAR was seized by police in Redditch for having no road tax, MOT or insurance.

The blue Vauxhall Astra was spotted on Woodfield Close, Abbeydale, by officers from the Safer Neighbourhood team on a recent patrol.

Further enquiries showed the car did not have a valid tax certificate, MOT or insurance.

Officers arranged for the Astra to be towed away by a recovery truck to a secure location on  Friday August 16. 

They said the car will remain impounded until the owner can produce the correct documentation to retrieve it.
