Dozens of abandoned vehicles seized in Highlands

Dozens of abandoned and untaxed vehicles have been seized or clamped in the Highlands.

Police Scotland said the action was taken following complaints from the public.

Over the course of a week, more than 50 vehicles were seized and 40 more were clamped.

Police were working with other organisations, including the DVLA, Highland Council and HM Revenue and Customs.

Ch Insp Iain MacLelland said: "Local residents have consistently raised concerns about anti-social behaviour linked to these vehicles and there is the obvious danger of vehicles being used which are not roadworthy.

"Seizing these vehicles will not only clean up local communities but also keep our roads safe."
