Officers from Bridlington Neighbourhood Policing Team sighted a vehicle being driven on the town’s roads earlier today.
The car reacted to the officers’ presence, and the driver abandoned the vehicle nearby. Following a short foot chase, officers from Bridlington Patrol Team 2 detained a male close by.
Red Ford Focus C‑Max seized by Humberside Police in Bridlington after driver abandoned vehicle and was found with no licence, insurance, or MOT

The driver has been summonsed to attend court and reported for the following offences:

As a result, the vehicle was seized under Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act 1988.
