POLICE had a little joke at a lawbreaker's expense after an untaxed car was seized in Over Hulton.

The dark Ford Fiesta was taken away on a low loader having been found by officers from GMP's Bolton South and Central Integrated Neighbourhood Policing Team in Broadway with no road tax in place on Monday (Jan 25) evening.

They later posted a photo of the confiscation on of the GMP Bolton South Facebook page, adding the jokey hastag '#needabuspass'.

Ray Haydock responded: "Good effort. Get them all off the road."
