Street Racing : Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Ferrari Purosangue and Lamborghini Urus among 60 supercars seized by Met Police.

9-day operation saw the seizure of brands like McLaren, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari and Lamborghini.

London’s Metropolitan Police has made five arrest for various driving offences and seized 60 supercars worth nearly $8 million after Westminster residents reported illegal racing activities.

To clamp down on what they call ‘nuisance drivers’, Met police worked with Westminster City Council and the Motor Insurance Bureau on an intelligence led operation.

The operation, which began on August 2 and ran until August 11, saw the seizure of luxury vehicles from brands like McLaren, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari and Lamborghini.

Some of the vehicles in the seizure include Rolls-Royce Wraith, Range Rover Evoque as well as seven-figure SUVs like Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Ferrari Purosangue and Lamborghini Urus Performante.

Metropolitan Police Special Inspector Geoff Tatman said:

“The Met is working to put communities first – listening to and tackling their concerns.

“This hugely successful operation has proved we are dealing with those crimes, such as anti-social driving, that is causing most distress to residents and tourists.”

Councillor Paul Dimoldenberg, Cabinet Member for City Management at Westminster City Council said:

“People who think it is ok to use our roads as their own private racetrack late at night are not welcome in Westminster.

“The noise and dangerous driving from these boy racers is often worse during the summer, so I welcome these results from the enforcement work. This underlines the council’s zero tolerance approach to anti-social driving.

“We will continue to work alongside the police and other local authorities to make sure the racing stays on the racetrack and not on our streets.”
