Police are cracking down on motorists carrying on late night racing around Larkfield.

Patrols are being stepped up amid concern for motorists racing cars and motorcycles in supermarket car parks, as well as revving engines and performing dangerous manoeuvres.

The additional patrols are being backed up by the support of PCSOs and special constables.

PC Becky Ballard said: "Whilst we appreciate there are people who simply want to meet up with friends and who may have an interest in cars and bikes, we are also very aware of the disturbance and distress caused to local residents as a result of noise and other antisocial behaviour.

"It is simply not acceptable and I can assure everyone we are working very hard to prevent this from happening."

Last week police issued two section 59 warnings.

Anyone issued with more than one warning risks having their vehicle seized and could face criminal prosecution.

PC Ballard added: "We will continue to deal with any offences robustly and arrest and prosecute offenders if necessary.

"Dealing with anti-social behaviour is a key priority for Kent Police, but it is also important that residents continue to report any incidents to us, particularly when they are happening. If possible also take down any number plates."

To report antisocial behaviour dial 101.
