00:00Metropolitan Police officers worked with the Motor Insurers Bureau to issue tickets for a range of offences including driving with no insurance, no licence disqualification, false documentation and fraudulent number plates to the drivers of mostly supercars in central London.
00:24The crackdown on antisocial driving came after complaints from residents, businesses and visitors about high value cars causing disruption in and around Hyde Park, Kensington and Chelsea.
00:42Several stolen vehicles were recovered with 10 others found to have no valid MOT and 11 without road tax.
00:50During the operation, eight people were arrested for offences including actual bodily harm, criminal damage, drug offences, theft and immigration breaches.
01:04Overall, 72 luxury vehicles including Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Bentleys were taken off the streets last weekend.
01:15Special Chief Officer James Deller said the operation responded to concerns over high value vehicles causing a nuisance in known hotspot areas in central and west London.
01:30He added the Met has already reduced neighbourhood crime by 19% over recent months and that they were addressing antisocial behaviour caused by uninsured drivers.
