A Police patrol in Ilkeston led to the seizure of a vehicle which had been seen being driven in a suspicious manner.

The incident in the town centre led to further enquiries and checks being made on the vehicle which revealed it was being driven on false number plates and was also in a non-road-worthy condition.

It was subsequently loaded on to low-loader recovery vehicle in Queen Street.

A statement from the Ilkeston Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “Using false plates is often linked to other criminal activity and puts other road users at risk.”
