Van seized in Ashfield after driver caught without full licence

Police officers in Ashfield have hailed a ‘quick win’ after seizing a van.

Officers from Nottinghamshire Police’s Ashfield Operation Reacher team seized the van, which was being used to collect scrap metal, after the driver was found to only have a provisional driving licence and without insurance.

A team spokesman said: “Probably not the best idea going out collecting scrap unsupervised on a provisional licence and with no insurance.

“Quick win for Reacher.”
