Full Summary — powered by AI

A convoy of supercars, including five Lamborghinis and a Mercedes G-Wagon, was intercepted and seized by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) in Rochdale on Wednesday evening, September 2, 2026. The operation followed numerous reports from the public regarding dangerous driving on the M66 and M62 motorways.

Witnesses reported the high-powered vehicles traveling at excessive speeds, weaving dangerously between lanes, performing wheel spins, and at times, slowing to approximately 17 mph on the motorway. GMP’s Transport Policing and Crime Command and Roads Policing Unit responded to these reports.

Police initially stopped two Lamborghinis as they exited the M62, with specialist tactics then employed to bring the remaining vehicles to a halt in Rochdale on Edinburgh Way, also known as the Rochdale Bypass, around 7:00 PM. All six vehicles were seized under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002. The drivers involved have been prosecuted for various driving offenses.

Chief Inspector Danny Kabal emphasized GMP’s commitment to road safety, stating that careless, inconsiderate, anti-social, or dangerous driving will not be tolerated. He also noted recent changes to Section 59 of the Police Reform Act, which now allow vehicles to be seized without a prior warning. Chief Inspector Kabal thanked the public for their reports and encouraged anyone with additional footage to contact GMP.
