Gardaí arrested a driver and seized a car after stopping the vehicle in Laois. 

An image of the seized Skoda Superb was posted on the Laois Offaly Gardaí social media on Monday. 

“Laois Roads Policing Unit on patrol today in Portlaoise  stopped another Disqualified Driver behind the wheel. Driver arrested and charged. Vehicle seized,” they stated.
