Sleek £200k Ferrari seized by Lancashire Police in Preston city centre
A Ferrari was seized by police in Preston after its driver was found driving ‘antisocially’ around the city for a second time.
The supercar was pulled over in Ringway around 12.45pm on Tuesday and its driver handed a Section 59 warning for ‘anti-social driving’.
It was the second such warning for the Ferrari driver within the past 12 months, said police, which meant officers were able to seize the car.
The driver was also slapped with a ticket for failing to comply with a traffic sign.
The Ferrari was pictured being towed away by a recovery truck in the drizzling rain near Preston Crown Court.
It is understood the vehicle has since been returned to its owner.
Posting on Facebook, Preston Police said: “Have you ever wondered where anti-social driving will get you?
“Well, it’ll certainly get your car seized (even if it is a Ferrari!)
“Yesterday, at around 12.45pm, our officers stopped the black Ferrari pictured on Ringway, near Preston city centre and issued a Section 59 warning, which is used to warn drivers when they are driving antisocially.
“If you receive two Section 59 warnings within a year, then your car can be seized.
“The driver also received a ticket for failing to comply with direction given by a traffic sign.
“Remember, anti-social driving is always unacceptable, no matter what vehicle you’re driving!”
