A parked Volkswagen Polo rolled down a hill and blocked a road in Worcester - before police seized it and towed it away.

Police were called after the parked car rolled away from the side of the road and came to rest halfway down a small hill.

Other drivers were left unable to get past the car which was blocking Abberley View in Worcester on Saturday (August 13). 

But officers from the Safer Neighbourhood Teams for Worcester seized the car after discovering that it had no tax or MOT.

Police seized the car at around 5pm. 

A spokesperson from Safer Neighbourhood Teams for Worcester said: "This vehicle had rolled downhill from where it was parked.

"Unfortunately for the owner it alerted us to the fact it was parked on the road without tax since June or an MOT since March."
