Vehicle seized in Findon following information from public
A vehicle has been seized in Findon as part of an ongoing police operation targeting untaxed vehicles on Sussex roads.
The seizure was carried out under Operation Excise, an initiative aimed at identifying and dealing with vehicles being used on the roads without valid vehicle tax.
According to Sussex Police, the action followed information provided by a member of the public, alongside checks carried out by officers.
After reviewing the information and making further enquiries, officers were able to locate the vehicle and take enforcement action.
Police say the seizure highlights the importance of information provided by local residents in helping identify potential issues and supporting enforcement activity.
A spokesperson for Sussex Police said: “This is a good example of how information from the public can help identify issues and support enforcement activity.
"We know it can sometimes feel like information disappears into a void, especially when you don't see an immediate outcome. Not every report results in visible action straight away, but the information you provide helps build intelligence, identify patterns, and can lead to positive results days, weeks or even months later.
“If something doesn't look right, report it. Your information could be the missing piece that helps us take action.”
