Surrey driver, 22, arrested for 'doing doughnuts' in BMW

A 22-year-old from Surrey has been arrested on suspicion of 'doing doughnuts' in the road in his White BMW M2. Officers were investigating a large car meet which passed through a large part of Hampshire last weekend. They spotted the BMW after it arrived at a small gathering in Westmead, Farnborough yesterday (September 27) and it was seized.

It is alleged the vehicle had been seen doing doughnuts while in Southampton last Saturday (September 21). The driver of the car, a a 22-year-old man from Dorking , Surrey, has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving. Chief Superintendent Darren O'Callaghan said: "We have been very clear that we will do all in our powers to identify, locate and arrest people we believe to be involved in dangerous driving and anti-social behaviour at these gatherings.



"If you don't want us taking your vehicle and arresting you, then don't behave recklessly and endanger the lives of others, along with the considerable impact it has on local residents. We will act swiftly and decisively, using all powers available to us to disrupt this behaviour." The meet last weekend began at Winchester Park and Ride, before moving on to Southampton, Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, Fareham and finally gathering at Southsea seafront shortly after midnight.

The 22-year-old is the third man to be arrested and fourth car to be seized in connection with the investigation. A BMW M3, a Ford Fiesta and a Volkswagen Golf have all been seized already this week, and two people arrested. Get more news from SurreyLive straight to your inbox for free here.
