Vehicles involved in serious crime

Essex boys Range Rover is doing the rounds again

[Levin]

Lucy Letby's Suzuki Splash?

The car is seen on the driveway in the arrest footage.


Then again in 2018 when police were investigating around the house, with a partial registration visible - OLA.


And finally, in an undated photo alongside Lucy, again with the same registration ending.


Not sure if there's a picture out there with the full registration, but I think there's enough evidence to say she either owned or drove the car.

Edit. There's a (very large) aerial photo with the plate blurred, as below. I keep looking at it thinking it might begin VK12, but this is mere conjecture.

If they are directly used in the crimes, they get shredded.
I've moved a few recently. We had the getaway car used in the shooting of the little girl in Liverpool at work, straight in the shredder.

VK12 OLA comes back as a Silver Suzuki Splash Sz2 - so you could be right.

The HGV used to pull the trailer with 39 dead bodies on it was up for sale couple weeks ago.

The Polar Express, as it's now known.

Seems very expensive, not like you will do gangland tours in it. Crime scene photos looked horrific too.

Not sure about the early 60s but, in the late 70s/early 80s, Chapman didnt typically drive a Lotus. His main car by then was always a Mercedes - that I recall, a C107 450SLC Mercedes, then a 450SE W116 S-Class and then a 500SEL W126 S-Class

I don’t suppose there’s any pics / stories on the web for these? I can’t find any via an admittedly brief google. I’ve just bought a c107 and also own 2 lotuses

Jeezzz.

Oh and as a warning to others, don't go on Reddit searching things if you are squimish.

Shame the shooter wasn't locked inside....

I can't remember the registrations but the SLC was silver with a blue interior, the SE was metallic brown with a cream interior and the SEL was thistle green. I don't think I've seen any photos of them. The only reference I know of is that there's a reference in the documentary "The Secret Life of Colin Chapman" when Tim Enwright, Chapman's long-time chief of staff/fixer, refers to Chapman being caught by his wife with his mistress in his Mercedes.
