He is also alleged to have fraudulently altered a vehicle registration mark.

His vehicle was seized by officers under Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act 1988.

Area commander Chris Sewell said: "Keeping Shetland’s roads safe is a priority for me as Area Commander. Driving without a licence, insurance or a valid MoT is unacceptable and puts other road users at risk. I am committed to taking robust enforcement action against those who show such disregard for the law.”
