A total of ten cars have been seized after a massive boy racer gathering in Levin earlier this month, police say, with an additional person arrested.
Around 200 cars showed up at the moving "antisocial road user event" on June 1.
At the time, police said they were pelted with rocks and bottles, leaving officers injured and patrol vehicles damaged. Several roads were blocked over the multi-hour ordeal.
Police gave an update on the Levin incident today along with a June 15 incident in Foxton. Manawatū area commander Ross Grantham said officers had recently impounded four vehicles between Manawatū and Wellington.
It brings the total number of vehicles seized on and following the weekend to 10.

"Police are committed to disrupting antisocial vehicle users and those who cause damage to the community, including loss of sleep, damage to roads, and aggressive behaviour," Grantham said in a media release today.
"Enquiries remain ongoing including speaking with the registered owners of the vehicles seized as we work to paint a full picture of what occurred and who was involved."
Meanwhile, a 27-year-old Lower Hutt man has also since been arrested on a charge of sustained loss of traction, relating to the Otaki and Levin event.
He will "appear in court in due course," according to police.
At least two people were arrested over alleged offences during the June 1 incident.
Grantham said: "If you witness illegal street racing, or antisocial vehicle use including skids, burnouts and dangerous driving please contact police as soon as possible with as much information as possible.
"Even the smallest piece of information could be the key we need in our investigations."
