Police community support officers joined the DVLA for the blitz in the Bassetlaw area.

It saw nine cars clamped within 90 minutes in Manton and Kilton, before the operation moved to Worksop town centre where four were clamped.

Motorists face a �200 release fee for their cars. Police said other areas would now be targeted.

John Moore, DVLA's enforcement manager, said: "We are determined to target this irresponsible group who consistently evade paying their road tax.

"Road tax cheats do not usually have up to date insurance or MOT certificates."
