Police hunt convoy of speeding cars

Police are appealing for information to trace the drivers of four cars who were seen speeding at more than 140mph on the M74 - double the legal limit.

The vehicles were going southbound between Johnstonebridge and Ecclefechan, Dumfries and Galloway, at around 12.15pm on Sunday.

Police spotted a blue coloured BMW, an orange Nissan GTR, a red Audi S5 and a grey coloured Porsche GT3.

Sergeant Leigh Mcculloch, said: “Clearly speed to this level on a public road is totally inappropriate.”
