Over two days (yesterday and Wednesday), Middlesbrough neighbourhood team officers carried out the operation to take uninsured drivers off the roads and detect driving offences.
Vehicles were seized on Kings Road, Maltby Street and Jubilee Street in North Ormesby for having no insurance.
A Vauxhall Corsa was also found abandoned on Wilton Street and this was also seized.
Three drivers have been reported for summons for having no insurance.
