A CAR was seized after it went at "excess speed" straight past a police station.

Officers from West Yorkshire Police's Bradford South Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) spotted a silver Mercedes zooming past Trafalgar House Police Station in Bradford city centre yesterday.

They followed the vehicle and stopped it.

Police then seized the car under Section 59 powers, due to it being driven in an anti-social manner.

Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 allows officers 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.

A spokesperson for Bradford South NPT said: "Just remember that you can only have one Section 59 warning in a 12 month period, if you are stopped a second time driving in an anti-social manner then your car will be seized.

"You have been warned."
