Police stopped a vehicle in an Oxfordshire town in an effort to catch a wanted man.

A witness said she saw three police cars and multiple officers stop the car near an Esso petrol station on the Oxford Road in Banbury at around 9am this morning (May 24).

The incident resulted in temporary traffic delays.

Thames Valley Police said the car was identified by an ANPR camera as it may have been related to a wanted man.

Officers pulled the vehicle over but discovered the man wasn’t inside, so the vehicle was let go.

No arrests were made following the incident.
