During the shift four drivers were given tickets for not wearing a seatbelt and two for using their mobile phones whilst driving.

A vehicle was seized for having no insurance and two people were given tickets for not securing the load they were transporting.

In a social media post, police said: "It takes a few minutes to check your insurance & seconds to clip your seatbelt in. #OpSPARC"
