"But as it turns out, this Grinch didn’t stop at stealing parking spaces. A quick word with the driver revealed: No insurance, learner permit holder driving unaccompanied, no L - plates displayed. At that point, Christmas cheer was shrinking and the list of offences growing," Gardaí said.

Gardaí report that the vehicle was seized, the disabled parking bay was freed, and the Grinch was walking home to Whoville!
