Lamborghini seized in Bolton after reports of ‘racing’

Police say they heard reports on the evening of Wednesday August 26 that drivers had been racing high-powered cars against each other.

They then found a bright orange Lamborghini supercar when its driver lost control right in front of their police vehicle at the junction of Bury Road and Hypatia Street in Tonge Fold.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: “On Wednesday August 26 2026, 6.30pm police received a report of high-powered vehicles racing.

“Officers attended the Bury Road/Hypatia Street area in Bolton when this vehicle accelerated at speed, losing control of the back end of the vehicle, directly in front of a liveried police vehicle.

“The vehicle was stopped and seized under S59 police reform act with the driver being issued a traffic offence report.”

Images supplied by police at the scene show the orange supercar having come to a stop in front of a police car and then being towed away.
