Driver flees after car flagged down by police in Livingston

A vehicle has been seized after its driver fled when signalled to pull over in Livingston. Police said the motorist made off from the white Vauxhall when officers signalled for it to stop.

Officers were unable to trace the motorist but succeeded in identifying the individual using video footage from the police vehicle. Road Policing Scotland said the driver will be reported to Scotland's prosecution service for a number of alleged offences.

The official Police Scotland Twitter account for road policing posted an image of the vehicle at 1.02am on Saturday.
