Someone is in tears loosing that stuff
Who would have believed it. First 2021 car show during lockdown held by the PSNI.
Escort Cossie, Evo, custard nova. What a collection.

I guess it begs the question did they deserve to have them in the first place!

Were they owned by criminals or stolen by criminals?
asset recovery job likely. Criminals blowing money on toys
If it’s part of the Encrochat compromise then likely assets of criminal activity (drugs)
Yep lots of doors up hallways after encrochat got sussed
I sold a car to a chap that knows all about it. Lol

Was thinking the same thing myself. I wonder if they used the rrp much like they claim drugs with a street value of such and such are usually over exaggerated in any seizures

Now they just need to find all the stolen cars.
But seizing a load of cars and from that article...just one 33 year old arrested ? You'd have hoped there would be more than one person.
The rest will be well over the soft border by now.

Much like Invest NI's press releases about investments given to companies and jobs created, utter fantasy. I was involved in a small company doing engineering consultancy in Belfast around 12 years ago, there was around 10 of us in it and INI were giving help on various things for a couple of years that totalled maybe ~200k at most. Arlene swept in one day in her armoured Skoda Superb and shook hands with the boss, ignored everyone else and fecked aff. Press release was a £1.5m investment and 30 jobs lol. Pure unicorns, rainbows and fairy dust.Was thinking the same thing myself. I wonder if they used the rrp much like they claim drugs with a street value of such and such are usually over exaggerated in any seizures
Other funny thing was before Big A had arrived, an INI press girl came in and was trying to get the low down on what we made etc for the PR. Convo went like this:
"What do you make?"
Well, we don't directly make things, we aren't a manufacturing company, we sell engineering services to companies that make things.
"So, what do you make?"
And, repeat, repeat, repeat until one of us caved in and said we made aerospace systems components. That's what went in the PR.
I don't believe a word of those statements, it's all spin but the important thing is that some scum is off the streets for a while.
