Police have seized two more supercars in Manchester city centre - after the drivers couldn't produce valid insurance documents.
First they stopped a grey £181,000 Lamborghini Huracan, which has a top speed of 200mph, as it had been revving its engine loudly. Within hours they stopped another Huracan, this time in gold.
Both were taken off the roads and and the drivers have been reported for traffic offences.
The force posted pictures of the seized vehicles on their social media accounts, the latest moves by the police and council to crackdown on rogue drivers of supercars in Manchester city centre, particularly on Deansgate which has become something of a magnet for petrolheads wanting to show off.
But the parade of loud, expensive cars can also be irritating, not to mention antisocial, for people who live and work in the city centre.
Greater Manchester Police, on its city centre Facebook and Twitter accounts, posted pictures of the latest flash motors to be taken off the roads.
The force posted a picture of a Lamborghini Huracan, in gold, on the back of a flatbed truck and wrote: "The driver of this vehicle was stopped by GMP #TransportUnit after checks showed that it was uninsured.
"The driver was unable to produce a policy which resulted in them being issued a (Traffic Offence Report) and the vehicle being seized."
Two hours earlier, GMP posted a picture of an officer talking to the driver of another Husacan, this time in grey, and wrote: "Another seized (car) last night. Attention was drawn to it by it’s engine revving & non conforming registration mark. The driver was unable to produce insurance. The (car) was last taxed in summer 2022. Detected & seized by our @GMPSpecials."
