Police Seize Vehicle & Book Drivers At Beachy Head Car Rally

Sussex Police issued this image of a vehicle being seized today after suspected anti-social driving

Police seized a vehicle from a driver accused of persistent anti-social behaviour as what appeared to be a car rally took place near Beachy Head on Sunday (April 4).

They also arrested a man on suspicion of drink-driving, but only after he tried to escape.

Officers say they also issued eight other warnings about anti-social driving, and reported several motorists for traffic offences.

A spokesperson for Sussex Police said members of the neighbourhood policing team joined roads policing unit officers after members of the public made "numerous" reports of anti-social driving near the famous coastal landmark.

They issued eight warnings under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002. 

The effect of these warnings is to give notice to a driver committing anti-social behaviour that a further offence will result in their vehicle being seized by police.

The spokesperson continued:

"Another driver was on his way to a well-known fast food drive through restaurant for a tasty burger, but ended up having his car seized as he was driving whilst uninsured.

"The only thing he was able to take away was his ancient car stereo."
