Drivers in Wakefield have had cars confiscated and been left with holes in their wallets following an operation to deter the anti-social use of vehicles.
A multi-agency operation was launched in Wakefield City Centre on Sunday 6 August in response to a recent increase in car cruising.
In total, officers issued ten fixed penalty tickets to drivers and also seized an uninsured Audi from a local man who was disqualified from driving.
The operation followed off road motorcycle police patrols on a retail park in late July which resulted in action being taken against two motorists for dangerous driving.
One was given points on his licence while another was summoned to court for dangerous driving.
In Sunday’s operation three drivers were given Fixed Penalty notices for their cars having illegal number plates while another two were given Fixed Penalty notices for having tinted windows.
