TRANSLATION:
Three cars seized by police but unclaimed by their owners have been donated to a college to help students.
The cars were handed over to Truro and Penwith College's automotive department on Thursday last week.
Devon and Cornwall Police said it recovered 1,886 vehicles in 2024, adding the introduction of the initiative would allow police to re-direct cars "from the scrap heap to the classroom".
Sgt Owen Messenger of the roads policing team said the vehicles were seized for reasons including no license or no insurance.
Phil Hanson, motor vehicle lecturer at the college said that this kind of donation allows their students to engage directly with real-world automotive systems and equips them with the skills and knowledge necessary for successful careers in the motor vehicle industry.

TRANSLATION
A new project aims to use virtual reality to preserve the Cornish language.
Revive, a 拢2.5m project led by Anglia Ruskin University in East Anglia, will focus on two endangered European languages - Griko, which is spoken in parts of Italy, and Cornish.
The project will use a combination of extended reality (XR) technologies and digital archives to bring the language to life through testimonies from local people, photographs, film and audio.
Dr Fabrizio Galeazzi, from the university, said the project aimed to "make sure every young person in Cornwall is aware of their county's incredible linguistic heritage".

TRANSLATION
A dolphin has been rescued after becoming stuck on the bank of a Cornish river after swimming about six miles inland.
The female common dolphin was spotted at the edge of Lostwithiel, on the River Fowey, on Sunday, after getting trapped in a small section of the river as the tide was going out.
Volunteers were able to wade in to the river and transfer the dolphin to a stretcher, before driving it by car to nearby Polkerris where it was released successfully, according to British Divers Marine Life Rescue.
Their spokesperson, Dan Jarvis, said the volunteers were "all quite surprised" to see a dolphin so far inland.
Mr Jarvis said he believed the 7ft 3in (2.2m) dolphin had become disorientated after swimming inland to follow fish or other food sources.
Marine mammals could become disoriented by human activity, such as underwater noise or boats, he said, but "as far as we can tell in this case it was a natural phenomenon of the dolphin just getting lost".
