A spokesperson for the SNT said: "Parking and untaxed vehicles are regularly highlighted as causing annoyance to residents, whilst on patrol officers identified the vehicle as having no tax. This vehicle has been removed and taken to the police pound where the owner will have to pay to reclaim his vehicle.

He added that officers also offered "words of advice" to residents around responsibilities of vehicle ownership including insurance, vehicle excise duty, and MOT certification.
