A CAR was seized after police spotted it travelling at high speed in Bradford.

The blue Honda Jazz was seen by officers on St Thomas's Road in the city centre.

The vehicle was seized because the MOT had expired and there was no insurance.

West Yorkshire Police's Operation Steerside Team tweeted: "Honda Jazz seized for no insurance on St Thomas's Road @WYP_BradfordW

"Driver sighted travelling at high speed, vehicle showing MOT expired and the previous keeper only.

"The driver wasn’t able to firm up the information on the policy.

"Vehicle seized."

West Yorkshire Police's Operation Steerside Team has been dedicated to tackling dangerous and anti-social driving in Bradford since the initiative was launched in 2016.

It evolved in 2018 into a multi-agency partnership (consisting of representatives from Bradford Council, police, education and the fire service) and has continued ever since to proactively take on illegal use of the road.
