Cars seized as drivers caught 'setting up to race'
Nottinghamshire Police said it became aware a large number of car cruisers were set to descend on the city on Saturday 3 May.
A coordinated operation was then put in place at known hotspots for reckless driving, which the force said led to the seizure of cars and allowed officers to prevent issues at other locations.
The force has targeted car cruising since last year as part of Operation Wheelspin, which aims to put the brakes on "meets" organised on closed social media groups.
The force says the initiative, which has used number plate recognition technology to build up a database of potential problem cars, has led to a 20% reduction in related offences.
Sgt James Carrington has previously told the BBC the force is "playing a game of cat and mouse" with car cruising organisers, who can often arrange multiple meets at several local locations on one night.
Speaking about the operation on 3 May, he said: "We seized five cars that night alone, and 14 drivers will be prosecuted.
"We also populated our database with a huge number of vehicle registration marks for further monitoring and to develop our intelligence picture going forward, as well as dispersing them out of Nottinghamshire without issue."
Sgt Carrington added: "The operation was a real success and underlines how we will continue to work hard to keep people safe, prevent and disrupt antisocial behaviour being caused at these car cruise events, and do everything we can to bring offenders to justice."
A further two cars were stopped, leading to police enforcement action after a smaller-scale pop-up meet on the A57 at Worksop on Bank Holiday Monday.

Spud the dog found abandoned in crate with heart-wrenching note
A heart-wrenching tale has emerged of an abandoned dog, believed to be a Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross named Spud, found in a crate with a note from its previous owner. Spud was discovered on 29 July, left alone in a crate in the Wirral, Merseyside. The four or five-year-old pooch was accompanied by a note from his former owner, expressing their inability to provide him with the home he deserved. The note described Spud as a "really loving house dog" but confessed that they were unable to "give him the life he deserves". The previous owners also revealed their unsuccessful attempts to re-home Spud over several weeks and apologised for "for resorting to this".

Upon arrival, it was found that Spud was suffering from fur loss and claws growing into his pads. Despite being microchipped, the device was not functioning. Spud has since been fostered by a vet to aid his recovery, reports the Mirror. Lucy Welch, an Animal Rescue Officer at the RSPCA's Greater Manchester Animal Hospital, shared her impressions of Spud, highlighting his sweet nature despite his unfortunate past. She stated: "Spud is a lovely, gentle natured dog. All he wanted to do was sit on my lap and have a cuddle and be showered with affection. He was very polite to the other dogs he saw at the hospital and walked really nicely on a lead when I took him to my van. "His overgrown claws are an indication he'd probably not had enough exercise. They were growing into his pads which were red and sore - possibly from urine staining - and he would have been left feeling very uncomfortable. "I'd like to say a huge thank you to the person who found Spud and took him to a place of safety, to Jackson's Animal Rescue for kindly transporting him for initial treatment, and to the veterinary teams who provided wonderful care." Despite Spud settling in rapidly to his new surroundings, Lucy warned that he had still been traumatised by his ordeal. She explained: "Being on his own in a crate in an unfamiliar environment would have been a distressing experience for Spud and it's heartbreaking to think of him being left to fend for himself. "We'd plead with people to seek help and advice from appropriate organisations if they are experiencing difficulties and not to abandon their pets in vulnerable situations like this. It was a remote location and we could be looking at any number of possible scenarios had he not been found." Furthermore, Lucy also emphasised how, due to the rising cost of living, many people can find the expense of caring for a pet overwhelming. Sometimes they do not discover the full extent of the costs until after the pet has arrived. She explained: "Our Animal Kindness Index showed us that costs remain a concern for many pet owners - while issues like pet behaviour can be another challenge - but, whatever the reason, abandoning an animal like this is never acceptable. "There's help out there, and the RSPCA website - including our pet care and cost of living hub - is a one-stop shop to help owners who may be struggling financially." Figures from the RSPCA's Animal Kindness Index revealed that more than half of pet owners, 52 per cent, were concerned about the expense of veterinary bills and the impact on their ability to afford the animals they cherish and adore.

Explained: How much is the government paying to house asylum seekers in hotels?
Anti-immigration protests have surged in recent weeks, with some targeting hotels used to house asylum seekers, sparking violence and prompting multiple arrests. Amid the demonstrations, misleading claims about the cost of accommodating migrants have been spreading widely online. But what does it actually cost to house asylum seekers in hotels — and how are false figures shaping public anger? Misleading figures spread online One focal point has been the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf, East London, which has witnessed clashes between anti-immigration protesters and anti-racism demonstrators, leading to the arrest of two people on 8 August. Social media posts and viral messages have claimed that housing asylum seekers in hotels costs the government between £200 and £500 per night. However, there is no evidence to support these figures. One expert claims these kinds of falsehoods are 'most likely spread with a strategic purpose in mind'. The real cost The Home Office told The Independent that the Britannia Hotel costs £81 per night to house asylum seekers. In March 2025, the average cost per night for a hotel room used to accommodate asylum seekers was £118.87 — down from £162.16 in March 2023. Across all hotels, this equates to around £5.77m per day, down from £8.3m per day the previous year. Stephan Lewandowsky, Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of Bristol, told The Independent that false information spreads because divisive posts attract more attention from readers. He said: 'Social media algorithms favour information that is outrage-evoking because it generates more audience engagement – hence making more money for the platforms – and in consequence disinformation often has an advantage over factual content and spreads faster and further. On top of that, the goal is, of course, to incite hatred and what better way to do that than to spread outrageous falsehoods.' These misleading claims are not just a matter of numbers. Experts warn they could amplify public anger and stoke already high tensions. 'There is now very clear and strong evidence that online misinformation can cause real-world harms. For example, last year's riots in the UK targeted mosques based on the false rumour that the perpetrator of a heinous crime was a Muslim refugee – he was not, he was a native-born British citizen,' Mr Lewandowsky said. Court ruling piles pressure on Starmer Pressure is mounting on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer after Epping Forest District Council secured an interim High Court injunction to ban migrants from being housed at The Bell Hotel after weeks of protests at the site. The council argued the site had become a 'feeding ground for unrest' following a spate of violent protests that left several police officers injured. On 4 August, Starmer condemned the violence as 'far-right thuggery' and warned that those responsible would face the 'full force of the law.' For now, one of many challenges for ministers will be to ensure the facts about the costs of asylum hotels are reaching the public.

JD Vance reveals 'important lesson' he wants Americans to take away from DC
Vice President JD Vance sent a message to Americans about the Trump administration's federal takeover of Washington, D.C.'s police in an exclusive interview with Wednesday "The Ingraham Angle." "If you've got the political will to enforce the law, you can make even cities like D.C. safe again," Vance told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. "And that's what we're demonstrating." PROGRAMMING ALERT: TO CATCH VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE'S ENTIRE INTERVIEW ON 'THE INGRAHAM ANGLE,' TUNE IN TO FOX NEWS CHANNEL TONIGHT AT 7 PM ET On Aug. 11, Trump declared a "crime emergency" in the nation's capital, federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and deploying D.C.'s National Guard to crack down on crime. Since then, violent crime in D.C. has dropped 35%, Vance touted, adding robberies have dropped 55%. Vance went on to impart the "important lesson" he hopes Americans take away from the administration's crackdown, despite other cities not sharing D.C.'s federal status. "I hope the American people just recognize that you don't have to live with lawlessness," he said. "You don't have to live with third world murder rates. If you just take control of these cities, you can make them safe places to live again. The vice president's comments come moments after he and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited National Guard troops in the D.C.'s Union Station Wednesday. Despite their visit being unannounced, hundreds of protesters greeted them, shouting "free D.C." Vance fired back at the display in front of cameras, calling it "kind of bizarre." "You have these people outside screaming 'free D.C.,'" Vance told reporters. "Let's free D.C. from lawlessness. Let's free Washington, D.C. from one of the highest murder rates in the entire world…that's what we're trying to free D.C. from." He continued, "It's kind of bizarre that we have a bunch of old, primarily White people who are out there protesting the policies that keep people safe when they've never felt danger in their entire lives." Vance also recalled a moment in Union Station that "scared the hell out of" his kids before thanking guardsmen for bringing "some law and order" back to D.C. "A couple years ago, when I brought my kids here, they were being screamed at by violent vagrants, and it was scaring the hell out of my kids," he recalled. To extend Trump's federal takeover past 30 days, Congress would have to pass a joint resolution upon both chambers' return from August recess.
