The police seize 60 cars at once in a huge raid

Following inquiries from concerned and unsafe citizens, the police in London have mounted a raid against a number of motorists. 60 cars were seized.

Some drivers have neither brains nor enough respect for others in traffic. Several of them have recently been cracked down on by the police in the London borough of Westminster.

The raid, the result of complaints from unsafe citizens, resulted in 60 luxury and supercars being removed from the English capital's roads.

Police Commissioner Geoff Tatman told The Sun after the raid.

The police in London can also say that the value of the cars is approaching 7.3 million British pounds. In Danish currency, this corresponds to DKK 64 million.

– If you intend to chant in this way in Westminster, you are not welcome here, says city councilor Paul Dimoldenberg, according to the newspaper.

Among some of the really expensive cars that have now been seized is a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. From the factory in England, it costs just under 2 million kroner.

One of the things the police have received the most complaints about is that the very expensive cars are used to completely disregard the traffic law. But for a number of the owners, it is now over.

In connection with the raid, where a Ferrari, a Bentley, a Lamborghini and at least one McLaren were also seized, five people were arrested. They now risk more charges and bigger fines.

The very expensive cars are certainly not the first cars English police seize this year. In fact, it happens every year that an average of 214,000 cars are impounded by law enforcement. Read more about it here .
