A crack police unit has recovered £1million worth of stolen supercars including a Rolls Royce in just a week. Essex Police said its Stolen Vehicle Intelligence Unit identified a haul of stolen cars and the remains of other cars known to be stolen.
In one of the unit's "most successful weeks,” they recovered a Rolls Royce and a Bentley Bentayga, alongside several Range Rovers and BMWs. The force said it had recovered both complete vehicles and others which had been broken down in so-called "chop shops".
In recent months they have also located and recovered a range of Ferraris and Aston Martins, and a Rolls Royce Cullinan worth more than £360,000 alone. The team has discovered 15 "chop shops" this year and intercepted nearly 50 shipping containers full of stolen cars and parts on their way out of the country.
