Gardai from the Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit seized a car after a motorist was found with documents - a driving licence and an insurance disc - which were believed to be fraudulent

A motorist was caught using a forged driving insurance and insurance disc by Letterkenny gardai on Wednesday night.

Gardaí from the Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit were on patrol when a car flagged on their ANPR system for having no insurance.

The car was stopped and the documents were inspected.

The insurance disc and the driving licence were suspected to be fraudulent and they were seized. The car was also seized and gardai say that the matter will now be investigated further.

An Garda Siochana have warned motorists that they will be 'taking a massive risk' by driving without insurance.

“If you decide to falsify documents then be assured that you will be found out,” a spokesperson said.

“Do not drive if you have no insurance. Do not overestimate your computer skills either. Leave the creation of official documents to the correct relevant bodies.”
