A massive police operation has led to the seizure of more than a dozen supercars in Essex after they were caught driving dangerously.
In total, 13 high-performance cars were seized by Essex Police in response to dangerous and anti-social driving on the M11.
The seizure included police taking control of Lamborghinis, Audi R8s, a Ferrari and a Porsche last week.
It stated that the Essex Police control room had received multiple reports during the start of rush hour at around 4.20pm on July 28.
The reports outlined that a convoy of supercars had been travelling northbound on the M11 after joining the motorway from London.
Concerned members of the public claimed that the vehicles were accelerating at excessive speeds before braking suddenly.
Motorists were allegedly seen braking heavily, bunching together and disrupting the flow of traffic.
