Police said the footage clearly shows 'anti social behaviour' being carried out.

In a tweet, they wrote: "We were sent good footage of a vehicle in #Chesham causing Anti Social Behaviour. With a registration clearly displayed within the video evidence, the owner was located and a Section 59 Warning was issued."

A Section 59 warning gives powers to allow an officer to seize and remove a vehicle, which he or she believes is being driven inconsiderately or carelessly and causing, or is likely to cause, alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public.

In this case, police believed the loud engine noise was causing a nuisance to residents nearby.
