More than 70 supercars worth £7million are seized in London (Photos)

Over 70 supercars valued at 7 million have been seized by police across London, including two purple Lamborghinis, as well as several Ferraris and Porsches. In a weekend-long operation, led by the Met Police and supported by the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB), up to 72 vehicles with a collective value of almost 7million were taken across the capital. The array of flash sports cars were confiscated across Hyde Park, Kensington, and Chelsea, with the MIB working alongside officers to impound the extravagant vehicles.  The crackdown by Scotland Yard comes amid reports of anti-social and dangerous driving, alongside drivers being a ‘nuisance’ across hotspot areas of London. One of the drivers of the two purple Lamborghinis had been in the country for just two hours and driving for 15 minutes when the luxury car was seized, the MIB said.  Up to 75 Met police officers worked to seize the uninsured vehicles, using specialist methods such as ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), predictive movement tracking, and vehicle markers.Special Chief Officer James Deller from the Met Police, who was in attendance at the operation, said that the operation represented the force’s commitment to tackling anti-social behaviour.  He added:  ‘This operation was set up to respond to resident, business and visitors concerns about high-value vehicles causing a nuisance in known hotspot areas in central and west London.’Meanwhile, Martin Saunders, Head of Uninsured Driving Prevention at MIB, urged motorists to ‘check their insurance policy is in place, is appropriate for their needs and to reach out to their insurer if they are unsure on any part of their policy.’ He added: ‘While many offenders knowingly violated the law, others fell victim to simple mistakes such as bounced payments, failed renewals or incorrect details.’The post More than 70 supercars worth 7million are seizedinLondon (Photos) appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
