On August 1, 2026, Mr Sartauskas drove a white BMW on Lockfield Avenue in Enfield, performing wheel spins and doughnuts. He also admitted to removing the vehicle’s registration plates before carrying out these stunts. This occurred in an area known for ongoing reports of antisocial driving and illegal racing. Police officers monitoring the location witnessed the manoeuvres and arrested Mr Sartauskas at the scene. Warning posters about the injunction had been displayed in the area earlier that day.
Council's Stance
Enfield Council obtained the car cruising injunction in December 2025 to prevent dangerous vehicle stunts and related antisocial behaviour. Councillor Alessandro Georgiou, leader of Enfield Council, stated that car cruising, illegal racing, and stunt driving blight neighbourhoods, disturb residents, and endanger innocent people. He added that those who treat roads like racetracks show no regard for others' safety and will not be tolerated. The council stated it will continue to work with the Metropolitan Police to enforce the injunction and take action against offenders.

The legal costs are to be paid in monthly instalments of £500. The injunction prohibits a range of activities associated with car cruising, including racing, dangerous driving, excessive revving, and any behaviour causing nuisance, alarm, or distress.
