Following a gathering last weekend, Saturday, January 4, which passed through several locations across Hampshire, three vehicles were seized by police including a grey BMW 340I belonging to a 31-year-old man from Woking, who was reported in relation to alleged dangerous driving at Chineham Retail Park, Basingstoke.
It has since been returned to its owner.
A silver Lexus IS 200 and a blue BMW 520D, both from separate 21-year-old men from Southampton, were also seized in the investigation.

A pink BMW M140I was also seized in relation to a meet on December 28, after it was alleged to have been seen drifting and driving dangerously in Portsmouth.
A 23-year-old man in Southampton attended a voluntary interview as part of this investigation.
Chief Inspector Emma Hart, from our Roads Policing Unit, said: “We have made our position quite clear in recent months, if you are involved in dangerous or anti-social driving on our roads then we will investigate and, where appropriate, we will seize your car.
“It takes only a second for a mistake to happen and someone to be seriously hurt.
“There are plenty of responsible car enthusiasts who meet safely to show off their cars and share their passion for vehicles with each other.
“But we will not tolerate the few who want to use meets as an opportunity to drive dangerously and risk the safety of others, and themselves.
“If you do have any information about, or particularly footage of, cars being driven dangerously on the roads, then please do get in touch. We know the impact this has on our communities and we are working hard to take robust action against anyone involved in such behaviour.”
