Lamborghinis, McLaren seized in NSW counterfeiting ring bust
Three men have been arrested after allegedly racking up nearly $10 million by selling counterfeit luxury goods on social media, and several high-end vehicles in their possession have been seized. A total of nine vehicles were seized in Sydney as part of Strike Force Alcova, with the cars having a combined value of approximately $3 million. Imagery provided by the NSW Police Force reveals a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, Urus and Huracan, a McLaren 765LT, and a Mercedes-AMG A35 being seized by officers on Wednesday (June 18). Also seized by officers were 500 counterfeit luxury items, $270,000 in cash, and a gel blaster firearm. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now.

Strike Force Alcova was established by State Crime Command's Organised Crime Squad Unexplained Wealth Team and the NSW Crime Commission to investigate an organised criminal syndicate allegedly involved in selling counterfeit luxury goods. These goods included clothes, watches, shoes and handbags sold via social media sites, and investigators allege the group had moved approximately $9.75 million in profits through various bank accounts. The men were charged with dealing with property proceeds of crime, recklessly dealing with the proceeds of general crime intended to conceal, and participating in criminal group activity, among other offences, and were refused bail to appear in Paramatta Local Court yesterday. "We will allege these individuals built a multi-million-dollar empire by deceiving consumers and undermining legitimate businesses," said Detective Superintendent Peter Faux, Commander of State Crime Command's Organised Crime Squad. "Behind the filters and followers was a sophisticated criminal enterprise exploiting digital platforms to sell counterfeit luxury goods." "The evidence suggests this criminal group stockpiled significant wealth – vehicles, cash, and luxury goods – through the sale of counterfeit items. These assets are now under the control of the NSW Crime Commission," said NSW Crime Commission executive director Darren Bennett, noting the significant seizure of "tainted assets". This comes just weeks after an Australian Federal Police-led taskforce seized a collection of exotic vehicles from a NSW pharmacist who allegedly made false claims under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) for almost a decade. This alleged criminal's collection also included Lamborghinis and McLarens. A McLaren 765LT was seized following the execution of a search warrant at a house in Dural, as were a Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae and an Aventador SVJ – the latter wearing a colour scheme perhaps best described as resembling Barney the Dinosaur.

Arkansas Trooper Pulls Over McLaren, Has No Idea What It Is
Read the full story on The Auto Wire People are getting a chuckle from the dashcam footage of an Arkansas trooper as she pulls over a speeding McLaren 765LT and obviously has no idea what it is. In fact, we believe she at first tells dispatch she's pulling over a 'Lambo.' Later, as the supercar slows to a stop, she reads the badge and butchers the McLaren just backs up what we've said many times before: cops aren't car experts. Some do know a lot about cars, but a lot of cops don't. But don't tell them that, because many of them think they can correctly identify vehicles in a flash. Yet there are plenty of incidents where police have incorrectly identified a vehicle, spiking tires and even pitting innocent people. It happens. Your average person doesn't even know McLaren exists as a company, nor could they spot one without reading the badge. It's a niche brand, one known mostly by gearheads and people in elite circles. Plus, we doubt many are tooling around Fayetteville, Arkansas with its population of just over 100,000. Once the trooper steps up to the supercar, we learn she clocked it going 92 mph in a 55 mph zone. In some areas that's a quick trip to jail, but she's pretty nice about the speeding violation and everything else that follows. What's even more outrageous about this traffic stop is the McLaren driver doesn't have his insurance and registration on hand. If you're driving a supercar, which is incredibly easy to accidentally speed in, you better have those papers handy. Even worse, the Maryland tag comes back as invalid. And there's some question about if he even has it insured. Surely the guy has the money to get the supercar registered in Arkansas and carry at least basic insurance on it, right? To the guy's credit, he didn't take off when the trooper turned on her lights. He easily could've dusted her and she would've had all her colleagues looking for a Lamborghini. Even after reading the rear badge repeatedly, she keeps calling it a 'McLoren.'
