British detectives investigating last week's attempted bomb attacks in London have 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 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, were cordoned off. It is thought the vehicle may have been used by one of the four bombing suspects.

The car, 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.
