\n Police said they received several reports from members of the public about sports cars<\/a> being driven dangerously and using roads “as a race track”.\n<\/p>\n

\n One of the incidents saw officers from the Special Constabulary stop a high-performance Lamborghini on St Helens Road after it was allegedly being driven in an anti-social manner. The vehicle was subsequently seized under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002, which allows police to remove vehicles being used in a way that causes alarm, distress or annoyance.\n<\/p>\n

\n In a separate incident during the early hours of the morning, police were called to The Valley on Eagley Brook Way following reports of numerous cars being driven anti-socially.\n<\/p>\n

\n Officers attended the scene and seized a vehicle under the same legislation. Following a search of one of the cars, police recovered numerous boxes of nitrous oxide, a Class C drug, along with a quantity of cash.\n<\/p>\n

\n Two men were arrested on suspicion of possession of a Class C drug with intent to supply and remain in custody for questioning.\n<\/p>\n
