A convoy of supercars en route to a wedding have been seized after reports of motorists driving dangerously on several motorways, police have said.

Officers were called at 18:10 BST on Sunday to reports of four cars being driven dangerously on the M4 and M5 near the M32 junction to Bristol.

The high-end vehicles, two Audi R8s, a Mercedes G63 Wagon and a Lamborghini Huracan, were pulled over on the A370 at Hewish in North Somerset, Avon and Somerset Police confirmed.

A force spokesperson added: "The motorway is not the place for a wedding convoy to become a rolling supercar showcase, putting other road users in danger."

They confirmed that the vehicles had been seized and that officers were "compiling files to report the drivers and registered owners of the vehicles for a number of offences".
