Uninsured and stolen cars taken off road by police patrol
A stolen car has been recovered and a car with no insurance removed from the road by police.
Officers from Brierley Hill Police were kept busy during morning patrols, starting with the discovery of a silver Seat Ibiza which was found to have been stolen from Pensnett and had cloned licence plates.
The car has been seized and taken away for forensic examination.
A spokesman for Brierley Hill Police said: "On patrol, we have located this cloned car.
"Checks revealed it was recently stolen from Pensnett.
"We have now recovered the car for a forensic examination."
The other car was stopped after officers found it was insured to a woman, but had a male driver.
Further checks found that the driver had an expired provisional licence and no insurance, so the car was seized and the driver reported to court.
