VEHICLES SEIZED IN INSURANCE CLAMPDOWN

A number of non-insured vehicles have been seized in Derry in a clampdown by police.

A car and a van were seized yesterday when they were detected being used without insurance in the Shantallow area of the city.

A PSNI spokesperson said the vehicles have been impounded until proof of insurance is produced and a release fee paid.

The spokesperson added: “This is in addition to any penalty a court will impose for.”
