This Lamborghini was stopped for no front plate on it on the M5 south today. Unfortunately, they also had no insurance. It’s been seized as a result, with its 0-60mph having gone from 2.5 seconds to around 25 seconds on the back of the recovery truck.

Disqualified driver stopped in this expensive (but rented) BMW X5 in Bishops Cleeve this evening. Hopefully his wallet is as big to fund the fines from the courts, rental company and the recovery yard as a result. Vehicle seized, driver reported for offences.

Stopping a vehicle that is determined not to stop across 2 counties is incredibly is resource intensive.This vehicle is linked to several offences and the driver was also wanted.Cross border teamwork between us & West Mercia brought this to a safe conclusion.Driver arrested.
