The car was seized at the scene as the driver had already been given warnings for his manner of driving earlier this year.

Officers from Shirebrook Safer Neighbourhood Team approached the driver of a classic convertible Mazda Miata after they spotted the car driving in an anti-social manner and doing donuts in the car park.

Officers initially planned to speak to the driver in order to advise and educate them. However after they carried out a few checks at the scene, it turned out the driver had previously been issued with a Section 57 warning for antisocial driving earlier this year. The vehicle has now been seized under Section 59.
