A CAR was seized in Bradford for no insurance after its "excessive" and "illegal" tinting alerted police.

Officers from West Yorkshire Police's Steerside Enforcement Team - the force's dedicated initiative for tackling anti-social and dangerous driving - posted about the vehicle seizure on Monday.

A spokesperson for the unit said: "The excessive, and confirmed as illegal, tints on this Volkswagen caught our eye on Ingleby Road West Yorkshire Police - Bradford West."

Further checks showed the white Volkswagen did not have valid insurance either.

The driver was reported for all offences and the car was seized, as a result.
