A £200,000 Lamborghini was seized by police after its uninsured driver revved the engine at pedestrians.

Members of the public were forced to jump out of the way as the Huracan Evo backfired and revved in Westover Road and Hinton Road in Bournemouth.

Officers from the Dorset Police No Excuse team spotted the vehicle last night.

A spokesman said: "It was drawn to our attention as the driver was at a pedestrian crossing revving the engine unnecessarily, very loudly as pedestrians crossed.

"We caught up with the vehicle where it continued to rev its engine at pedestrians, drawing attention, at one point pedestrians jumped out the way due to the vehicle back firing.

"We turned into Hinton Road where we were just putting in a stop when it accelerated excessively, finally coming to a stop.

"The apologetic driver claimed he was moving the vehicle for a friend, turned out he didn’t have any insurance to drive it."

The driver was issued with a ticket for driving without consideration of others and no insurance.

The driver later admitted putting the vehicle in neutral to rev the engine on purpose.
