They found the driver, from Leeds, was in Scarborough working as a food delivery driver but he did not have any insurance to drive the car.

Later, they stopped a Mini after it pulled out of a junction in what officers described as “a careless manner”.

They spoke to the driver and while checking the car’s documents, found the vehicle had not been taxed since June.

They seized the car and say the driver will need to ensure they have the correct documents before it can be released.

Anyone with concerns about crime should call police via 101.

Information can also be passed on anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
