Police have seized dozens of supercars collectively worth more than £6m, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Bentleys, during a crackdown on antisocial driving in London.

Seventy-two luxury vehicles were taken off the streets in an operation targeting nuisance driving in the West End after complaints from residents, businesses and visitors about high-value cars causing disruption in and around Hyde Park, Kensington and Chelsea.

The Metropolitan police said the cars, including twin purple Lamborghinis, were either unroadworthy or being driven illegally.

Officers worked with the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) last weekend to issue tickets for a range of offences including driving with no insurance, no licence, disqualification, false documentation and fraudulent number plates.
