A driver who told police he “didn’t believe” in driving licences, car insurance or tax had his car seized in Yorkshire.

He was at the wheel of a blue Range Rover with cloned plates spotted by Halifax Neighbourhood Policing Team in Lee Mount on November 8.

The police team said: “The driver of the vehicle stated that he did not believe in insurance, driving licences and tax. Unfortunately for him, we do, leading to his vehicle being seized.”

Later on, officers had to chase a VW Polo which had failed to stop for them. When they managed to halt the car, they found three teenagers inside, aged between 16 and 19, and balaclavas and bolt cutters.
