A parked car has been seized by police after they were alerted that it was allegedly untaxed and uninsured.
Officers from the Swindon Neighbourhood Team were called to a road in the town after members of the public reported a parked car that was not taxed to be on the road.
Checks were carried out on the Land Rover and it was discovered that the vehicle was allegedly untaxed, uninsured, and had not passed an MOT.

The car was subsequently seized, and police have warned drivers that they will face similar punishment if they commit motoring offences.
A spokesperson for the force added: “PC Williams and PC Cooper had received community intelligence that a car was parked on a road with no tax, no MOT, and no insurance.
“After completing further checks, the vehicle has been removed from the road and recovered.
“To borrow from the Trotter brothers, 'No vehicle tax, no MOT. No vehicle back, a guarantee.'”
