London Police Brush Out Wild Races For Luxury Car Gangs, 60 Supercars Confiscated By Ferrari To Rolls-Royce
JAKARTA In a massive operation that took place from August 2 to 11, the London Police, England managed to confiscate more than 60 supercars and other luxury vehicles with a total value of around Rp120 billion. The vehicles come from well-known brands such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, and Bentley.
Launching Road&Track, August 14, this operation was carried out after a number of Westminster residents complained about the behavior of supercar drivers who used the area as a wild racing circuit. The high speed and noise produced by these vehicles interfere with the peace of the residents.
