A vehicle was seized from a village in Aylesbury Vale after police discovered it was being driven by a male who had not yet passed his driving test.

A blue Land Rover is being held by Thames Valley Police after the force discovered it was being used by a man who only had a provisional licence. Further enquiries revealed that the driver had not insured the vehicle either.
