They stopped a driver who was allegedly driving at 47mph in the 30mph limit in Marford Road, Wheathampstead.

The motorist has been reported for speeding and could be summonsed directly to court, given points on his driving licence or fined.

A Facebook post by the force added: "Speeding is one of the current Harpenden neighbourhood priorities. Please slow down for everyone’s safety - it’s 30mph for a reason."

Meanwhile, PCSO’s Donna Higby and Adriano Russo, spoke to residents during their high-visibility patrols on their police e-bikes patrolling parks and disused railway lines in the area.
