Mercedes seized by police in The Crescent, Scarborough
The driver of a white Mercedes was reported on Wednesday (February 25) for driving whilst disqualified and without insurance after being stopped by North Yorkshire Police in The Crescent, Scarborough.
The driver, a man from Hull, had initially failed to stop when PC Varey and PC Redhead from Scarborough’s Professional Development Unit had signalled for him to pull over.

A force spokesperson explained: “Following a check on the Police National Computer, the car was identified as not having a valid insurance policy.
“The officers signalled to the car to stop, but the blue lights in the mirror had a different effect on the driver, who appeared not to want to stop as they quickly drove in The Crescent.”
After successfully initiating a stop a short while later, further checks were made on the driver, who was found to have been disqualified from driving in 2023 and did not hold a licence.
In a statement, police said: “The insurance expired in November last year, so the car was seized.”
