MORE than 25 vehicles were seized in a police crackdown on drivers in High Wycombe.
Offences included driving without insurance or driving in an anti-social manner.
The operation targetted areas including Green Road, Lucas Road, Totteridge Lane, Hicks Farm Rise and Hillary Road following concerns raised with the area's Neighbourhood Action Group.
A speeding crackdown on August 7 resulted in all motorists travelling above 36 miles per hour being pulled over and given warnings.
The offending drivers were asked what would stop them speeding in the future.
A number of speeding motorists were given £60 fines and three points, while others were reported to court or arrested for driving without a licence or driving while disqualified, police said.
A total of 25 speed indicator device operations have been conducted in Bowerdean and Totteridge since June, in what police describe as a non-threatening way' to encourage drivers to slow down.
Road signs have been put up in Amersham Hill and road markings have been repainted in Green Road to improve safety.
PSCO Emma Buckle said: "We've been working really hard to address the problem priorities that were identified at the NAG meeting and we've been successful in clamping down on speeding and anti-social vehicle use."
She added: "As a team we like to feel we are always on hand to help with any issues the public may have, whether it is tackling problems such as speeding or giving general directions. Feel free to stop us when you see us."
