Officers from Brierley Hill Police have spent the evening locating and returning a stolen car and charging a driver for having no licence or insurance as part of patrols.

"Following an area search, we located it, unattended less than an hour after it was stolen, thanks to a tracker.

"Car now returned to its rightful owner. Please consider adding extra security to any keyless vehicle."
