A catapult and untaxed and uninsured car have been seized by police.

The car was found in Stanhope, Ashford at around 9.30am this morning by officers from the Ashford community policing team.

Pictures show the 4x4 being toweed away after it was found with no tax, and no insurance.

A catapult found in the vehicle was also seized.

In a Tweet, the Ashford policing team said: "Vehicle seized for no tax in the area of Stanhope.

"Catapult from the vehicle will be destroyed."

Ashford has previously been dubbed Kent's catapult crime capital.

In 2021, three catapults were seized from youths who were firing them from the top of the town's Edinburgh Road car park.

In February this year, a Sainsbury's driver and a boy playing his Xbox were targeted by catapult yobs, leading to the boys mother hitting out over the surge in anti-social behaviour in Ashford.

A month after this, Ashford resident and Neighbourhood Watch volunteer Peter New, started a petition to make carrying catapults a criminal offence in a bid to help police tackle the issue.
