Police are appealing for witnesses and dash cam footage following reports of dangerous driving on the M3 by a group of motorcyclists.

A group of five motorcyclists were reportedly seen swerving between lanes at speed and doing wheelies on the southbound carriageway of the M3 between junction 3 and Winchester services between 5.45pm and 6pm on 25 June.

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.

Police stopped 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.
