Convoy of supercars 'speeding and heavily braking' seized
Essex Police issued 13 warnings and seized every vehicle after witnesses reported excessive speed, heavy braking and hard-shoulder overtaking.
On Tuesday, July 28, Essex Police seized 13 high-performance vehicles, including Lamborghinis, Audi R8s, a Ferrari, and a Porsche, after intercepting a dangerous driving convoy on the M11 near Bishop's Stortford.
Witnesses reported the convoy travelling northbound from North East London at 4.20pm, describing drivers accelerating at "excessive speed" before "slowing down suddenly" while allegedly disrupting traffic and using the hard shoulder to undertake other motorists.
Roads Policing Unit officers located the vehicles at junction 8 and issued 13 anti-social driving warnings. Sgt Will Willsher said the behaviour "potentially placed other road users at serious risk" during peak travel times on the busy motorway.
Police are investigating other identified offences and appealing for dashcam footage or witness accounts. Anyone with information should contact authorities quoting incident 955 or report anonymously via Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.
Sgt Willsher emphasized that "speed limits are there to keep everyone safe and the law applies equally to all road users." The investigation into the convoy's conduct remains ongoing.
Thirteen supercars were seized by the police in Essex County, UK, after being flared carrying out dangerous maneuvers on a stretch of the M11 highway, one of the main links between London and the north of England. The train, formed by vehicles evaluated in more than 2.5 million pounds (about R$18.5 million), was intercepted on Tuesday afternoon after drivers reported excessive speed and direction considered antisocial.
