A POLICING team say they are "on a roll" and "might buy a lottery ticket" after seizing several uninsured vehicles in a matter of days.

On Sunday evening, officers from Essex Police Tendring seized two cars which were being illegally driven due to not having any motor insurance.

One of the drivers also admitted to not having a driving licence, and was subsequently reported for various motor offences.

On Tuesday night, the Tendring D Shift crew struck again, seizing further two vehicles in what proved to be an eventual evening involving a quad bike and a speeding Golf.

While out patrolling, the force initially came across the quad bike, which attempted to flee.

Following a brief chase, the rider was detained and it was established he had no licence and no insurance, and he was also reported for failing to stop.
