Police seize £170k Lamborghini after catching driver with no insurance on motorway

Police seized a £170k Lamborghini after catching a driver behind the wheel with no insurance. The blue Lamborghini Huracan, priced from £170,000 to almost £300,000, was spotted on the M60 near Swinton on Sunday (January 22).

Officers noticed that the registration plate was not recognised on the PNC system, and pulled the driver over on the hard shoulder of the motorway.

Traffic cops then said that the driver was found to be using his friends' car without insurance, and was reported for offences before the supercar was seized.
