US EditionPolice seize luxury cars worth more than £6m in London's West End
The Metropolitan Police and Motor Insurers' Bureau seized 72 luxury vehicles, many uninsured or inadequately insured, uncovering additional criminal offenses during the operation.
- The Metropolitan Police seized 72 luxury vehicles worth nearly £7 million in London during a three-day operation targeting anti-social and dangerous driving last weekend.
- The operation was launched in response to worries from local residents, businesses, and visitors about luxury cars creating disturbances in popular areas throughout central and west London.
- Among the seized vehicles were uninsured purple Lamborghinis imported into Britain specifically for their owner’s holiday, along with Ferraris, Porsches, and other high-performance cars; while some drivers deliberately disregarded insurance requirements, others were genuinely unaware of their non-compliance.
- Special Chief Officer James Deller emphasized the Metropolitan Police's dedication to addressing anti-social behaviour, while Martin Saunders from MIB encouraged drivers to ensure their insurance coverage is valid and suitable for their needs.
- The crackdown resulted in eight arrests for various offenses, and the Met, together with the MIB, intends to maintain their combined focus on enforcement and public awareness initiatives over the coming months to tackle uninsured driving and further decrease crime in local communities.
