In just two days Cambridgeshire Police says they took 13 cars off the road – for a variety of offences.
On their Facebook page police were in almost jocular mood as they wrote: "Thirteen illegal cars off the road, seven with no insurance, five with no licence, three with no tax, two which were drug driving, one foreign vehicle and a partridge in a pear tree".
The police office officer who posted the photos and words added: "This is just from one weekend...if you are driving illegally we will catch you."
Hundreds quickly shared the on line post and many were quick to praise police for their work.
David Bond wrote: "Good work Cambridgeshire constabulary, it costs me a small fortune to keep my cars taxed, mot'd and insured so I don't see why some should get away with not doing it. Nobody is above the law."

Valier Ellis had another thought for police.
