More than 40 officers from Gloucestershire Police have held a massive sting operation in central Gloucester today (Operation Brogue), targeting illegal motorists and known criminals.
Using hi-Tec vehicle number plate recognition cameras (ANPR), in real time, uninsured drivers are spotted, pulled over by the police, their details double checked and arrested all in the space of a couple of minutes. To really spoil the uninsured drivers day, their car is confiscated by the Police and could be crushed!

Gloucester Taxi drivers had a front row seat as Police pulled illegal car drivers into the City Railway Station forecourt to avoid unnecessary congestion on the city centres roads. One of the arrested drivers was a young women with a child in the car, she was stopped due to lack of driving licence and insurance – thats another one of the road!

Word on the street is that people think Gloucestershire Police are doing a cracking job today, getting illegal drivers off the roads in Gloucester. Top marks on a good days work by all officers and support workers involved today!
