POLICE seized a vehicle after they say it initially failed to stop for them.

Officers in Bolton said once the driver came to their senses, a search showed there was no insurance and the motorist did not have a driving licence.

And the plates apparently did not match up to the car.

The stop was made yesterday afternoon.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police, Bolton West division, said: "This vehicle failed to stop for officers from #CRelief response.

"The driver quickly came to some sense and pulled over.

"They have been reported for having no insurance and no driving licence. "The vehicle was also found to be on false plates and has been seized."

The details were posted on the police's social media channels including Facebook.
