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.
