Police appeal for witnesses and footage of rich boy racers on M11

Rich boy racers swerved across lanes and blocked other motorists as part of a dangerous driving stunt on the M11.

Essex Police is appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage as part of its investigation into the incident.

It happened on Sunday (December 29) at around 1.30pm on the northbound carriageway near junction 6 (M25) and later in the Harlow area.

Police received reports of multiple high-end cars being driven recklessly, swerving across lanes.

The drivers held up other motorists by blocking all three lanes, with their hazard lights on, so that they could race on the carriageway ahead.

Vehicles identified at this stage include Lamborghinis, a Maserati, two Rolls Royce Cullinans, Audi RS and Mercedes models and a Range Rover SVR.

Police are treating the incident as a case of dangerous driving.

Sgt Will Willsher, of Essex’s roads policing unit, said: “Clearly this presents a danger to other road users and we are determined to deal with these reckless drivers.

“Our roads are not playgrounds and dangerous driving kills.

“At this stage my appeal is for anyone whose memory is jogged, around the date, times and circumstances of this driving, to come forward. You may have information or footage which could assist us.

“I would also like to hear from anyone impacted by this driving, who may have suffered delays or was otherwise held up in their journeys.”

A dedicated online portal has been set up for any footage to be uploaded at https://kep.uk.evidence.com/axon/community-request/public/13.

Anyone with information can submit a report on the Essex Police website at www.essex.police.uk or by using the live chat service at the bottom right of the homepage.

Alternatively, you can call police on 101. Please cite incident 494 of 29 December.
