Car stand-off

A British motorist refused to leave his car for 30 hours after clampers tried to fine him over £3,800.

Haroon Zafaryab says he failed to spot a small 'Private Property' sign but claims he was targeted by "bullying clampers", who had clamped his vehicle as he visited his local mosque in Wembley, North London, and were demanding £100 plus £265 for a tow truck.

But Harron refused to pay so got in the driver's seat as he knew it couldn't be moved with him in it.

As the stand-off continued, three more clamps were fixed to the remaining wheels and 40 tickets were issued.

However, after 30 hours the firm Citywatch had had enough and Haroon finally agreed to pay the original £100 fine.
