A police force has seized numerous vehicles and illegal e-bikes during a clampdown on uninsured drivers in Peterborough.

Cambridgeshire Police said it took 16 vehicles and two e-bikes off the road in an operation in the city last week.

Out of the drivers that were stopped, three did not have a licence, while another was disqualified and one person was arrested on suspicion of drug driving.

The force said the operation was "part of efforts to help make the roads safer for everyone", and urged people to insure their vehicles.
