Met Police seized over £8 million worth of vehicles following a supercar meet-up in London.
Among the impounded supercars was a rare £3.7 million Ferrari Monza SP2, one of only 499 ever manufactured.
Officers stopped the Ferrari just half an hour after its driver, who held only a provisional licence, began driving it.
Met officers seized the Ferrari Monza, reportedly in the UK for only a day, for driving without insurance and not in accordance with a licence.
Seized vehicles were taken to Wellington Arch before storage.
Beyond vehicle offences, officers detected other criminal activities during the operation, including possession of multiple bank cards, large sums of cash, and drug offences.
A man was arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods and money laundering.
Separately, two further arrests were made for harassment, alarm, or distress, and an immigration offence.
Geoff Tatman confirmed the public outcry: "We regularly hear from local people who are fed up with people driving cars dangerously in the area, or with modifications which make them a nuisance to those who live nearby."
