Eden police seized a Porsche Cayenne in Penrith under anti-social driving powers.
Eden police in Penrith seized a Porsche Cayenne for driving in an anti-social manner on Middlegate. The vehicle was taken under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act after causing public alarm, distress or annoyance.
Section 59 allows police to seize vehicles either witnessed in person or caught on footage driving in ways that cause public alarm, distress or annoyance. The seizure can happen immediately.
New legislation effective since July 2026 has changed how the powers work. The requirement for a warning before seizure has been removed, and the time before unclaimed vehicles can be crushed has been shortened.
A police spokesman said: 'If you're missing your Porsche Cayenne when you get home today, we have it. The vehicle pictured below has been uplifted under Section 59 Police Reform Act for driving in an anti-social manner on Middlegate, Penrith. If a vehicle is witnessed either in person or caught on footage driving which caused the public alarm distress or annoyance the vehicle can be uplifted immediately.'
