The driver of a luxury sports car was stopped last night with the car seized by police after the driver was suspected of not having any insurance.

The mint green Audi S3 was pulled over by GMP Bolton North officers on Monday night with police saying the motorist had no insurance to drive the vehicle.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: “This vehicle was seen driving on Blackburn Road by our North Neighbourhood Officers and the driver could not produce a valid insurance document.

“The vehicle was seized under Section 165 of the road traffic act 1988. If you drive uninsured your vehicle will be seized.”
