Officers stopped 60 to 80 vehicles in the operation on Tuesday, dealing with six of them for allegedly having no tax. Four of those vehicles were seized.

They also seized a vehicle because the driver allegedly had no licence and no insurance.

Two men were stopped and searched on suspicion of possessing drugs, with one man arrested for possession of a bladed article.

They also issued a ticket to a man for not wearing a seatbelt, while one driver was given a ticket for an insecure load.

A police spokesman added though that "all breath tests were negative" and a number of parents were given car seat safety advice.
