Worried people called the police to report the street racers who were close to the KFC restaurant in Nunnery Way in Worcester.

Officers attended and witnessed numerous driving offences including a crash where a black BMW skidded off the road and crashed down an embankment on Saturday (June 3).

Police were back in the area again the following day (Sunday) to make sure street racers did not congregate.

Police armed with speed guns also made sure all cars were sticking to the 40mph speed limit on the stretch of the A4440.

Eleven further drivers are set to be reported for speed-related offences with one vehicle captured at 72mph.

Inspector Andy Tanner said: “We will continue to monitor this area, we take the issue of street racing and the illegal use of the strategic roads network very seriously and the safety of the public is at the heart of everything we do.

“I would like to reassure local residents that we are listening to them, and we will respond to reports of dangerous anti-social driving on our roads.
