A car was seized after a driver got stuck while trying to avoid paying nearly £500 in airport parking fees.
The man attempted to drive around the barriers at Stansted Airport, but got his car stuck on the kerb.
When Essex Police arrived looked into his details, officers found out that the man was a disqualified driver.
His car was seized and police say he still owes £496 in parking fees.
A tweet from Essex Police at the airport said: "Please remember to pay for your parking @STN_Airport.
