CLAMPERS nabbed a woman and ordered her to pay £434 – while she was driving.

Jessie Martin was driving in Nelson Road, Leigh, when she realised she had taken a wrong turn.

Not being able to make a U-turn in the middle of the road, she pulled into a car park for a block of flats to turn the car around.

As she went to drive out of the car park, two vans drove in and blocked her exit.

Miss Martin, 31, said she didn’t know what was going on as the two men got out of the van.

She said: “They just came out of nowhere. I thought I was getting robbed or something. They didn’t have a uniform on.

“I hadn’t even turned the engine off. One of them asked me to turn it off because he said something and I couldn’t hear him.”

LBS Enforcement clampers then attached a clamp to her car and pulled on their identity badges after it was attached.

Two other men then turned up and Miss Martin, of Denton Avenue, Westcliff, was told her car would be towed away if she did not pay.

She said: “When the tow truck came, they moved their cars so it looked like they hadn’t blocked me in.

“They stuck a sticker on my car and said they were charging £80 every half an hour it was there.

“I phoned the manager and he was really rude. He said you shouldn’t be parked there. I said I wasn’t parked, I was turning around, then he hung up.”

No one from LBS was would comment yesterday.
