The vehicle was stopped and taken by Thames Valley Police in London Road in Oxford last night (Tuesday, April 21).

Officers say the driver held no driving licence and also had no insurance, which led to the car being seized.

The police force informed the community of the car being seized with a statement issued this afternoon (Wednesday, April 22) with a photograph attached.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: “Licence and insurance, anyone?

“Last night, officers stopped this vehicle on London Road, Oxford.

“Checks revealed the driver held no driving licence and had no insurance.

“Unfortunately, that’s a double no, so the drive stopped here.

“Stay legal. Stay insured. Stay safe.”

The incident occurred this afternoon at around midday (Wednesday, April 22) as the trio were sent to Headley Way.

Rhodri Jones, who works at the nearby John Radcliffe Hospital, spotted smoke on his way home.

“There is a house fire with fire engines present on Hedley Way near the entrance to the hospital,” he said at the time.

“There is a general smell of burning in the area.”

The incident took several hours to be dealt with as fire crews did not depart the scene until 3.30pm in the afternoon.

A spokesperson for Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “We were called today just after midday, sending three fire engines to Headley Way in Oxford.

“Crews used hosereels to extinguish a fire in the living room of a semi-detached domestic property, with a pressure ventilation fan used to clear the smoke.”

The 27-year-old farmhand from Chipping Norton rose to fame in the first season of the Amazon Prime Video show, which was released in 2021.
