Further arrest made and car seized after meet in Hampshire last month

As part of our ongoing investigation into a car meet in Hampshire last month, officers have now arrested a sixth man and seized a seventh car.

It comes after officers received reports that vehicles had been seen being driven dangerously in Southampton on Saturday, September 21.

The meet began that night at Winchester Park and Ride, before moving on to Southampton, Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, Fareham and finally gathering at Southsea seafront shortly after midnight.

On Wednesday (October 9), a 29-year-old man from Dursley in Gloucestershire was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.

He is the sixth person arrested, and has been bailed while our investigation continues.

A Land Rover Discovery has also been seized as part of our enquiries.

Chief Superintendent Darren O'Callaghan said: "We have been clear we will pursue anyone believed to be engaging in dangerous driving at car meets, and remove their vehicle from the road.

"Our teams continue to work hard to identify possible offenders and deal with them.

"If you don't want us knocking on your door, do not engage in dangerous driving at these events, putting other people attending, the public and yourself at risk.

"As part of our ongoing work, we also want to engage with these groups where we can, helping to educate and ensure car enthusiasts are able to share their passion with each other without dangerous behaviour or having a severely detrimental impact on the lives of our communities."

As part of our ongoing investigation, we continue to appeal for anyone with information or any video footage to get in touch.

You can do this either by calling 101, or on our website, and quoting the reference 44240406801.

You can also report incidents of dangerous or anti-social driving through Hants SNAP, which is a police initiative aimed at dealing with alleged road traffic offences.
