And a red and black Vauxhall Combi van was pulled over officers for having no MOT, a spokesman for the RPU said.
The same vehicle had previously been pulled over for having no valid insurance, he added, though it did this time. Its driver was given a fixed penalty notice.
This afternoon, police also pulled over a lime green Mazda officers said had no MOT, insurance, or tax. The car was seized and its owner reported.
