A BLACK Mercedes was seized in Bradford city centre yesterday.

West Yorkshire Police's Operation Steerside officers stopped the car on Hall Ings for a document check on Tuesday morning.

The vehicle was found to have been untaxed since June.

It was seized on behalf of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).

The driver was also reported to the agency for having no MOT.

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.
