A 16-year-old had their bike seized by police after they were caught riding it in Sutton without a licence, tax or insurance.

The teenager was stopped by officers from the Operation Reacher team on the Leamington estate on Wednesday morning.

Writing on Ashfield Police’s Facebook page, a spokesman said officers were ‘surprised to find that the 16-year-old rider didn't hold a licence or insurance’.

"To make it a hat-trick the bike also didn't have tax,” the post read.

The rider was also given a traffic offence report.
