A car has been seized by police in Morecambe investigating a spate of catalytic converter thefts.
The Morecambe Urban & Rural Task Force seized the vehicle, which they suspect has been used by offenders.

In recent weeks there have been warnings for motorists to be vigilant after a rise in the theft of catalytic converters.
A catalytic converter is an exhaust emission control device that converts toxic gases in exhaust gas into less-toxic pollutants.
Recent incidents include the theft of one from a car parked in the Sunnycliffe Retail Park car park, Mellishaw Lane in Lancaster, earlier this month.
