'They know what they are doing is illegal'
People living in an exclusive part of London, barely a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace, are being visited by a nightly menace - which they say is making their lives a misery.
Residents say the drivers "know what they are doing is illegal" as they obscure their cars' number plates and often wear hoods and balaclavas. And now, locals are campaigning in the hopes of restoring funding to police road teams so something can be done before "someone gets seriously hurt". Mrs Mannion, a media lawyer, said the car meet ups began during lockdown when no one was on the roads. Since then, they have continued nearly every weekend - including on Bank Holidays and even on Christmas Day.
Sanzhar Abishev, another local resident, is also worried about the meets - which he says pose a danger to the community. The 31-year-old said: "They drive very recklessly. They do doughnuts at high speed. They do burnouts and their engines overheat. There is the danger of them exploding.
