Dozens of drivers were caught speeding in one Norfolk district during a police crackdown on the county's roads.

In the past week, officers have been stationed across nine towns and villages in Breckland on roads which are known for dangerous driving. 

The roads included Stone Road, Norwich Road, Yaxham Road, Shipdham Road and Swaffham Road in Dereham, as well as roads in Bawdeswell, Swanton Morley and North Tuddenham.

During the week, officers caught 79 drivers committing offences through the use of camera vans.

They were either given a ticket at the side of the road or sent one in the post, while one driver was given "words of advice".

A spokeswoman for Norfolk Constabulary said: "This is something you regularly tell us really concerns you and it’s one of the official local priorities.

"Whenever the beat managers get the chance, around their other work focussing on anti-social behaviour and other crime, they’ve been out and about to crack down on speeding drivers."
