Police Seize Arab Luxury Supercars in London Amid Crackdown on Uninsured Vehicles
In a significant operation over the weekend, the Metropolitan Police, in collaboration with the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB), seized over 70 luxury vehicles valued at more than £7 million across central London. The crackdown targeted areas including Hyde Park, Kensington, and Chelsea, where high-end brands such as Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini were impounded. One notable case involved an uninsured driver who had been in the UK for only two hours.
Many of the vehicles were brought from abroad with drivers relying on foreign insurance policies that did not meet UK coverage standards. The operation utilized Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology to identify uninsured vehicles by cross-referencing them with a database maintained by the MIB.
The enforcement effort also addressed other offenses, including drug-related crimes, stolen vehicles, immigration breaches, and fraudulent insurance practices such as “ghost broking.” Additionally, numerous driving violations were detected, including driving without a license, illegal window tints, and unsafe vehicle conditions.
The operation involved 75 officers and emphasized both enforcement and education, aiming to reduce neighborhood crime and raise awareness about insurance requirements. Authorities stressed the importance of proper coverage, especially among foreign and seasonal visitors.
This crackdown follows a similar operation in August 2024, where more than 60 supercars worth £6 million were seized in a clampdown on antisocial driving in central London. The 2024 operation targeted “boy racers” using roads as their “own private racetrack,” leading to five arrests for offenses including insurance fraud and driving without due care.
The recent operation underscores the ongoing efforts by the Metropolitan Police to address illegal and unsafe driving practices, particularly among foreign visitors, and to ensure that all vehicles on UK roads comply with local insurance and safety regulations.
