A POLICE team has spoken of its "amusement" after a colleague ended up mistakenly prosecuting himself for having an untaxed vehicle.
West Yorkshire Police's Roads Policing Unit (RPU) posted an image on Twitter of a letter, dated March 15, highlighting an untaxed vehicle being kept or used on Oak Lane in Manningham, Bradford, on February 15.
The letter, which was posted to Nelson Street in Bradford, the address of Trafalgar House police station, states that the owner must pay a settlement of £81 by April 1 to avoid being taken to court.
Officers said the man appeared to have put his own name on the paperwork rather than that of the actual offender.
The RPU tweet read: "To the great amusement of the rest of the office, one of our colleagues managed to fill a form in incorrectly, and prosecuted himself for driving an untaxed vehicle! Definately a bunable offence?"
