The vehicle, which was carrying a car on the back, had blue lights fitted to the top of it.

This recovery truck was seized by West Yorkshire Police after officers spotted the blue lights fitted to the roof.

Only emergency vehicles can be fitted with a blue flashing light, or anything that looks like a blue flashing light, whether working or not.

On closer investigation officers also discovered it was uninsured, prompting them to seize it.
