A CAR has been seized and the male driver reported after it was discovered the car was registered to a woman in Nottinghamshire.

Traffic cops were conducting regular patrols this morning when they spotted a navy blue Volkswagen Golf on Willows Lane, Deane, which had failed to stop for officers the previous day.

Checks revealed that the male driver was neither the registered keeper of the car, nor did he have insurance.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson for Bolton North said: "This vehicle failed to stop for officers on July 23.

"This morning, the Transport Unit located it on Willows Lane, Bolton.

"The male driver was spoken to and checks found insurance to a female in Nottinghamshire only and no registered keeper."

The vehicle has since been seized by officers and the driver reported for the offences.
