Police have arrested 14 Melbourne men and seized 12 cars worth more than $370,000 as they target hoon driving.
Assistant Commissioner Russell Barrett says the arrests over the past two day are part of a statewide crackdown on hoon meet-ups.
"Hoon activity is dangerous and not simply a bit of harmless fun," he said in a statement on Friday.
"We've seen these kinds of behaviours result in both death and serious injury."
The men, aged between 18 and 45, were charged over a hoon meet at Marine Parade in St Kilda in January. They also face weapons and drugs charges.
Police have seized 12 cars including a 2015 Mercedes B GTS Roadster and a 1989 Nissan Skyline R31 sedan.
Officers say there's been an increase in hoon meets and intentionally risky driving more generally in the past few months.
They are trying to track down the people organising the hoon meets and to identify hotspots.
