Vehicle seized during tax operation in Welwyn Garden City

Officers seized an untaxed vehicle during an operation in Welwyn Garden City on Tuesday (21 November).

The Safer Neighbourhood Team joined forces with the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) to conduct a tax operation at the Burrowfield Industrial Estate.

One vehicle was seized for having no tax and another five vehicle owners were given tickets.

Sergeant Robert Wilson, from the Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “We spoke to a number of vehicle owners and local businesses as part of the operation.

“I hope the public are pleased to know that we are tackling motorists who think they can get away with driving untaxed vehicles.

“I would like to thank PC Chris Giles who organised the operation. We are intending to carry out further operations are hotspot locations.”
