A Doncaster Central police spokesman said: “While on patrol on Earl Avenue in Rossington we stopped a red Ford Transit van and found that there was no insurance in place.

"The vehicle has now been seized and a traffic offence report has been completed. This means the driver will receive the option of a fixed penalty notice or an appearance at court.

“We have also arrested three men for various offences.
