Doherty car towed by police

British rocker Pete Doherty has had his Jaguar car towed away after failing to pay £1,200 (€1,800) in fines.

The troubled Babyshambles frontman was penalised for driving illegally in bus lanes, and his failure to pay the mounting fines led to police removing the car in Hackney, London.

The Jaguar is expected to sell for only £300 (€480) at auction - which means bailiffs could soon be claiming more of Doherty's property.
