Gardaí seized a car off a learner driver in Dublin recently - after they committed five road offences in one go.
The unit from the Dublin Metropolitan Region East were on patrol in Sandyford when they flagged down the car.
Upon inspecting the vehicle, they found that the driver had no insurance.
The driver also had no tax and wasn't displaying any L plates.
This was unfortunate, as the driver only had a learner permit. They were also unaccompanied - which is another offence under the rules of the road.
And to top it all off, the driver was not wearing their seatbelt at the time of being pulled over.
Meaning the motorist in question had five offences in one go.
The car was subsequently seized from them.
Gardai have also urged people to be vigilant about "bogus callers" to people's homes who are pretending to be members of the force.
They are investigating two incidents involving two men who called to elderly people's houses impersonating detectives.
The men were carrying "what looked like a garda badge".
According to gardai from the Cavan/Monaghan region, the incidents happened in a neighbouring division recently.
The men's ruse was to show a sum of money which they "claimed belonged to the elderly person but they needed to compare it with other money they may have before returning it".
Gardai are warning people over the bogus callers and asking people to be vigilant when people they don't know come to their doors.
They said: "Criminals don't care about divisional boundaries and we have received a report of a similar crime in the recent past. Please be vigilant and don't open your door to anyone before you have confirmed who it is and what they want. Ring your local garda station immediately to report any of these callers to your home."
