Police discovered high-value cars, totalling nearly £1 million, concealed in various lock-ups. Among the recovered vehicles were a £250,000 Rolls Royce and a £70,000 Aston Martin DB11, along with a Mercedes AMG GT worth £40,000, a Range Rover Vogue, a Jeep Wrangler, and a Toyota Alphard.

On Monday, Essex Police uncovered these six stolen cars at an industrial site in North Benfleet. The vehicles, taken from locations in Essex and London, were found intact. Ch Insp Dan McHugh commended the police's efforts, describing it as a "great piece of [police] work."

Highlighting the success of their initial investigation, McHugh mentioned that the estimated value of cars passing through the site approached £1 million. Notably, the Rolls Royce was recovered within 24 hours of being stolen.

Despite the recovery of the vehicles, the police emphasised their ongoing commitment to identify, apprehend, and bring to justice those responsible for the thefts. Their ultimate goal is to reunite the stolen vehicles with their rightful owners.
