Police are appealing for witnesses after a group of five bikers pulled wheelies and swerved between lanes on the M3 motorway.

Between 5.45pm and 6pm on 25 June, Hampshire Police received reports that a group of five motorcyclists were swerving between lanes at speed and doing wheelies on the southbound carriageway of the M3 between junction 3 and Winchester services.

It was also reported the group had stopped traffic in the road works between junctions 3 and 4 as they performed doughnuts in the carriageway.

Officers located four of the group at Winchester services and three men and a woman were handed fixed penalty notices for number plate offences.

One of the motorcycles, a silver Yamaha, was seized by officers as it had no tax or MOT.

Anyone with information or relevant dash cam footage should call 101 quoting reference number 44240267977.
