POLICE on patrol near Catterick were stunned when they spotted a car being driven yesterday which was missing its bonnet and other important parts such as lights, wings and number plates.

A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police whose officers snapped a picture of the car said: "Can you spot the problem with this car?

"It’s often said that our roads policing officers have eagle eyes but it doesn't take exceptional eyesight to spot the missing bodywork, amongst other things, on this vehicle.

"We were on routine patrol in Catterick yesterday when this vehicle drove past, yes, drove past. Needless to say we quickly brought it to a stop.

"The driver thought it was okay to go for a test drive around the area with a few key things missing - not something we would advise.

"The vehicle was seized for no insurance and the driver reported for a number of offences. What will we see next?"
