TWO cars whose MOT and tax expired more than seven months ago and abandoned at Whitchurch railway station have been seized, police say.
Officers from the North Shropshire Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT), based in Market Drayton, were called to the car park at the railway station over the weekend after reports of one abandoned car.
However, according to PC Owen Kinsey, while officers were there to check on the reported vehicle, they also found another that had seemingly been abandoned.
