Lamborghini seized in Burnley after dangerous driving
Burnley Neighbourhood Policing Team said the bright orange vehicle was stopped following reports of excessive speed and anti-social driving.
Officers issued a warning under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 — but quickly discovered the car had already been flagged within the past 12 months.
As a result, the vehicle was seized at the roadside.
Under Section 59 powers, police can act against vehicles driven in a manner causing alarm, distress or annoyance, with repeat offences leading to seizure — regardless of whether the current driver was responsible for the original warning.
Police said there was “no excuse” for dangerous driving, adding that action will continue to be taken against motorists who put others at risk.
A spokesperson added: “Although the weather is beautiful, it is no excuse for driving in a dangerous manner — but if you do, at least don’t make it as easy as this driver did in a bright orange supercar.”
