West Vancouver police impounded a McLaren supercar this month just minutes after its owner drove the vehicle away from the dealership.
According to West Vancouver police, a traffic patrol officer spotted the 2019 McLaren 600LT speeding westbound on Highway 1 near 15th Street on Monday, June 17.
According to Car and Driver magazine, the 2019 600LT retails for more than US$240,000.
Officers clocked the vehicle travelling at about 161 kilometres per hour in a 90-kilometre-per-hour zone, police said.
Officers stopped the vehicle near Cypress Bowl Road, where the driver allegedly told the officer he had just left the dealership 10 minutes prior.
