Dozens of speeding motorists caught in Rutland police blitz

Oakham police have caught dozens of speeding drivers this weekend.

Police today reported that this morning they undertook speed checks on the A606 at Burley Park Way this morning after a few requests from the public due to concerns over motorcyclists.

An officer said on twitter today: "In one hour, on a Sunday morning, I caught 27 vehicles not abiding to the speed limit and not one of those vehicles was a motorcycle."

Yesterday, police conducted speedchecks on the A606 at Barnsdale.

Oakham Police also commented: "We are disappointed in the amount of vehicles we have already caught speeding. Please slow down."
