A car with a tyre an 'F1 driver would be proud of' has been seized by police in Rossendale.
While out on joint patrol yesterday with Together Housing officers Rossendale Police noticed a Ford Ka parked very badly.
A spokesperson for the police said: “Further checks showed that the car was registered out of the area, along with a front N S tyre that a F1 driver would be proud off, again officers senses checked and the VIN number didn't match the registration plates.”
What happens when a car is seized?
When a car is seized by police for no insurance or license it is taken to a secure compound and the owner has 14 days to reclaim it by paying charges (up to £200 release fee + £20/day storage), proving ownership, and providing valid insurance/documents.
Failure to do so results in disposal or crushing.
