“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.
