Gardaí in Kildare seized two vehicles at a checkpoint in the north of the county on Thursday night, meaning they took in a total of 10 vehicles in just over 24 hours after stopping cars at checkpoints throughout the county.

The checkpoint was in place in Kilcock on that evening, and it was carried out by the Naas Divisional Traffic Corp. They seized the two vehicles, one of which was a silver Audi A4, while the other appears to be a black Honda Accord.

One of the vehicles was seized due to the driver not having it insured, while the other vehicle had no NCT or tax.

There were also a number of cars seized at a checkpoint earlier in the day that was carried out near Newbridge. Gardaí brought in a total of four vehicles due to the fact that drivers had no insurance on the cars.

On Wednesday afternoon, Gardaí also carried out a checkpoint in Naas. They seized four cars on that occasion, two of which had no insurance, while the other two were lacking tax, insurance and an NCT.
