An ice cream van has been seized by police in Walsall for having no road tax.
West Midlands Police tweeted a picture of the offending vehicle with a pun-laden message urging drivers not to be “flakey”.
The yellow-and-blue Mercedes was spotted by officers while they were parked up on administrative duties.
The tweet, confirming the van had been driven away on a recovery truck, appeared to chime with social media users, attracting numerous jokey replies.
One Twitter user queried whether the ice cream salesman had been halted from his work on a “sundae”, while another asked if the area had been coned off.
Another tweeter posted: “Mind that cop car.”
