Two men have been charged after allegedly being caught driving at more than 100mph in South Ayrshire.
Police stopped a Mercedes CLS travelling at speeds of up to 130mph on the A78, near Troon, at around 7.20pm on Saturday night.
The 33-year-old driver was arrested and charged in connection with road traffic offences.
On the same road, officers also observed a Vauxhall Astra travelling at speeds up to 100mph.
The 25-year-old driver was traced a short time later and arrested and charged in connection with road traffic offences.
Chief inspector Darren Faulds from the Road Policing Unit said: “It is always disappointing to see people driving at such excessive speeds and putting all road users at risk. One minor misjudgement and the results of speeding can be catastrophic.
“We know that speeding and other road traffic offences are a concern for people living in Ayrshire and our officers are committed to keeping our town’s roads safe.
“We will keep working to educate drivers and take action where appropriate to improve safety and reduce the number of injuries on our roads.”
“I would urge drivers to please watch their speed. Make sure you are aware of the speed limit and stick to it. It is there for a reason.”
