A VAN was stopped in Bradford after the driver reportedly committed a mobile phone offence.

The white Peugeot Boxer was halted on Bradford Road, Heaton, in the west of the city.

An insurance issue led to the vehicle being seized and the driver was reported to court.

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.
