Ferrari Worth Millions Amongst Fleet of Cars Confiscated
Police seized 90 vehicles worth more than £8 million as residents complained about uninsured and dangerous supercar driving.
- Between Friday, August 7 and Sunday, August 9, the Metropolitan Police seized 90 vehicles worth more than £8 million across central London, including a £3.7 million Ferrari Monza SP2 driven by an uninsured motorist with only a provisional license.
- New legislation empowers officers to seize vehicles involved in anti-social behavior immediately rather than issuing warnings. Police targeted Hyde Park, Kensington, and Chelsea after receiving complaints about dangerous driving and vehicle-related disruptions in these areas.
- The Ferrari had been in the UK for only one day when seized; the driver had operated it for less than 30 minutes before police intervened. Viral footage later showed a Metropolitan Police officer driving the supercar through Mayfair in a police convoy.
- Beyond vehicle seizures, additional stops resulted in arrests for money laundering and drug possession. Cllr Caroline Sargent, Deputy Leader at Westminster City Council, said: "People who think it's acceptable to drive illegally in Westminster are not welcome here."
- The operation marked the largest number and highest total value of vehicles seized in the initiative's five-year history. Motor Insurers' Bureau CEO Angus Eaton said: "The rules apply to all motorists, regardless of the value of the vehicle they chose to drive.
