Speeding complainant caught going too fast in Borehamwood

Officers were carrying out speed checks in Aycliffe Road, Borehamwood after members of the community raised concerns about how quickly cars were travelling through the area.

In total, three cars were pulled over, presumably after being clocked going over the 30mph speed limit.

But it turned out that one of those drivers was someone who had complained to police about speeding. The Borehamwood police force took to Twitter to share their story.
