Van Seized in Whittlesey For Driving Offences.

Thanks to the help of the public, we were able to get another uninsured and unlicenced driver off the roads.

Following the recent burglary at the Field of Dreams in Whittlesey on 2 May, we received reports from members of the public who saw the van near the football club.

We stopped the van in Broad Street, and while there was no evidence connecting it to the burglary, checks found that the driver had no insurance or a licence, so the van was seized and the driver has been reported.
If you have any information regarding the recent burglary, you can let us know here by quoting 35/31278/24.

Those without internet access should call 101.
