Drivers have been caught going more than 10mph above the speed limit of roads around a Suffolk town.

Officers from the Sizewell C community policing team carried out checks on Abbey Road, King George's Avenue and Sizewell Gap, near Leiston this week.

During their speed checks they caught drivers going more than 40mph in the 30mph limits.

This resulted in several drivers being issued with Traffic Offence Reports.

A spokesperson for Suffolk police said: "Please drive carefully and respect the speed limits."

It was recently revealed that three new speed cameras set up by Sizewell C nuclear power station caught more than 1,000 drivers in August.

They were installed in July on the B1122, between the level crossing and Eastbridge Road, as well as on the B1125 in Westleton.
