Cops in London spoiled supercar owners’ fun by seizing 72 luxury cars

When it comes to owning and operating supercars, owners have to abide by rules to keep both themselves and those around them safe.

So, to ensure that all supercars on the road were driving safely and adhering to the law, London cops went on a big mission and ended up spoiling supercar owners’ fun while they were at it.

Now, it’s no secret that the city of London is a reckless driving hotspot, so in a bid to tackle this, a three-day operation was launched by cops in the capital.

It started on August 8th and ran through August 10th, and a lot happened.

“Officers seized a total of 72 luxury vehicles, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Bentleys, that were either unroadworthy or being driven illegally,” stated the Metropolitan Police in a press release.

The operation was in response to concerns about nuisance behaviour raised by residents, businesses, and visitors in areas of the city, including Chelsea, Hyde Park, and Kensington.

But that’s not all.

Their haul consisted of more than a few stolen vehicles, as well as issuing other tickets for offences such as driving without insurance and fraudulent number plates.

Plus, arrests were also made after other criminal activity was uncovered as part of the investigation, such as theft and criminal damage.

“This has been a great opportunity to work with the Motor Insurance Bureau and […] to speak with members of the public about the work we do, […] and enforce the law,” Met’s Special Chief Officer James Deller said.

So while they may have spoiled supercar owners’ fun, they also did some good in the community, which helps.

London cops aren’t the only ruthless officers around

All over the world, police are known to be ruthless when enforcing laws, especially on the road.

For example, a bit closer to home, it only took two minutes for a Kansas man to be pulled over by cops for driving his strange, backwards truck.

Plus, recently, Indonesia introduced a robot police force, including humanoid cops and robot dogs, to fight crime.
