A couple of days ago, the police in London seized a £300,000 Lamborghini Aventador because it was being driven illegally in Knightsbridge. The driver didn't have insurance for the car.
The ultra high performance car, in bright purple is currently being displayed outside Scotland Yard and the police are still working out if charges will be brought against the driver. There is a possibility that the car could be destroyed as well.
The Met Office issued a statement which said that the Lamborghini was one of a handful of supercars seized by offices as part of ‘Operation Cubo'. A spokesman said “We have been seizing many types of cars, but sports cars have been among them.”We have had a few Porsches, BMW X5s, and a Ferrari – that one got crushed and in fact the vast majority of them are.”
Police said that Operation Cubo has taken place across 20 separate days and 656 vehicles have been seized in one single day in June. A total of 10,318 vehicles have been seized as part of this operation since October 2011.
Kitguru says: Such a shame if these ultra expensive, beautiful cars were destroyed. Surely they could be auctioned off and the profits given to charity?
If they think destroying this expensive cars is the best thing to do then they really need their bloody heads examined.
What on earth is going on in their heads!? Auctioning them off would have a much better benefit.

Sadly enough seizing and destroying a car will only help when it comes to drug dealers, they can better auction this car or let him buy back for a huge amount, then you are thinking.
But think again, why don’t the police destroy drugs when seized after every evidence is checked and used for court, yet after that they still keep the drugs in a special place, so dirty cop can sell again 😉
have they ever thought how hard it is to get insurance on a car like that – garages with fire extinguishers plumbed in, alarmed and linked to police lol etc and its probably easier if youre loaded to just deal with a lawsuit or pay compensation direct out of pocket, and yes its retarded to crush a £300000 asset even if its to make a point theres better uses of the car.
saw a police car with illegal bald tyres the other day….
either sell it, return to Lambo (at a cost) to sell on, or just stick some blue lights in the grill and use for high speed chases!
