The team said it had issued 55 Section 59 warnings and seized one car under those powers.
Section 59 warnings allow the police to give drivers a warning if they are reported to have used their vehicle in a manner which causes "alarm, distress or annoyance".
If reported to have done so again within a year, the vehicle can be confiscated.
Twenty eight vehicles were also seized for no licence or insurance "plus many more offences dealt with via tickets or words of advice" said the team.
