Two motorists without car insurance had their vehicles seized last week, it has been reported.

According to Thames Valley police, the drivers were stopped during an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) operation in Bracknell.

The motorists were fined £200 each and given six penalty points.

If they do not pay to have their vehicles released from the compound, the drivers' cars will also be crushed.

During the four-hour campaign, police stopped and questioned 25 motorists, after the ANPR equipment flagged up a problem with their car.

PC Michael Foot said the force would not let people in the area get away with driving without car insurance.

He stated: "Our message is quite clear - you must ensure your vehicle is road legal otherwise you could end up losing it."

Meanwhile, Thames Valley police launched an anti drink-drive campaign earlier this month in a bid to cut accidents in the run-up to Christmas.
