A van driver had their vehicle seized after being found without a valid licence or insurance.
The van was stopped by officers from the Roads and Armed Policing Team (RAPT) during proactive patrols in Lowestoft.
It was spotted being driven "unlawfully" in the Oulton Broad area of town last week.
A police spokesman said: "Checks revealed the driver had no valid driving licence and no insurance, resulting in the vehicle being seized and recovered.
"During the stop, officers also dealt with a separate cannabis related matter.
"The van's journey ended much sooner than expected, swapping the open road for a ride on the back of a recovery truck."
Lowestoft Police issued a road safety reminder to all drivers, urging them to ensure they are properly licensed and insured before getting behind the wheel.
Officers said it was vital for motorists to keep their vehicle tax and documentation up to date, warning that failing to do so could result in their vehicle being seized.
Police described the consequences as otherwise being "a very expensive taxi ride home."
