“The Sports car was seized under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act ,” say Colne & West Craven Police.
Pendle in East Lancashire has seen a rise in vehicles using its roads as a race track in recent weeks therefore Lancashire Police have been clamping down on drivers who speed.
It didn’t take them long to come across one speeding driver who was using their Lamborghini sports car in an anti-social manner.
Section 59 of the Police Reform Act gives officers the power to seize any vehicle that is used in such a way to ensure our roads remain safe for other road users travelling around Lancashire.
In a recent seizure, Colne and West Craven Police said,
“Recently in Pendle we have been having reports of speeding vehicles along our main roads.
As this vehicle was driving antisocially it was seized under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act on Halifax Road Brierfield.
We will not tolerate antisocial driving in Pendle and hope this deters other road users from committing offences.”
