“On Wednesday evening we were carrying out patrols of the Donegall Road Area when we spotted this vehicle which was issued with a prohibition notice during the recent operation. Checks of the police system and information from the driver highlighted that the vehicle was still under a prohibition notice and therefore should not be driven on the road. It was also clear from the condition of the vehicle that not all the defects had been rectified.
“The vehicle has been seized for examination and the driver will be reported to the DVA and the PPS in relation to a number of offences, including carrying a child under the age of 12 without the correct restraint.”
