Police have been waiting to catch drivers speeding through a Wiltshire village.
Officers from the Warminster Neighbourhood Policing Team have been targeting drivers travelling too fast through Chapmanslade.
Speed checks were conducted on the village High Street, a busy road where there have been multiple complaints about speeding drivers in the past, near the village hall.
During this operation, eight vehicles were clocked breaking the 30mph speed limit which is in place through the village.
The fastest driver was recorded travelling at 40mph.
Police will now be following up to ensure each offender receives “the most suitable outcome”, with all eight motorists set to be offered a speed awareness course.
