Major road blocked as car seized in London bombings probe

Detectives investigating last week's attempted bomb attacks in London today seized a car thought to have been used by one of the bombers.

The car, which had been under surveillance, was seized by officers in north London soon after 1pm.

It was seized in the Finchley area of north London, at the junction of Strawberry Vale and Chambers Gardens.

Part of the North Circular, the A406, between Finchley Road and Colney Hatch Lane, has been cordoned off. It is thought the vehicle may have been used by one of the four bombing suspects.

The car, said to be a white VW Golf, will be combed for forensic evidence. No arrests have been made and no explosives have been found in the vehicle so far.
