Barrow police offered a tongue-in-cheek apology to fast food customers after a delivery driver's car had to be seized.
A photograph was posted on the Barrow police Facebook page of the seized vehicle's almost bald tyres.
Officers compared the smooth tread to 'slicks' used by race car drivers to make their cars go faster.

The post said: "We all like fast food, but this fella decided to put his slicks on today in the hope that those juicy, juicy burgers could be delivered at warp speed.
"Following a brief chat, the vehicle was uplifted and is currently on the back of a wagon on its way to the yard, probably the first time in a long time that it has been on the road legally.
"Sorry for whoever the nugs were on their way to, but it kind of serves you right for choosing BBQ sauce as your dip."
