Gardaí have seized a car and say a prosecution will follow after officers spotted a bogus tax disc on a parked car.

Officers on patrol in Co Meath saw the handwritten disc at the weekend.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, gardaí said: "Gardaí from Meath were on patrol over the weekend when they spotted something peculiar about the tax disc on a parked car. Yeah, the rest explains itself.

"This car was seized and a prosecution will follow."
