A sports car was seized at a Sussex beauty spot during a "large car meet".

Officers took the vehicle away on the back of a lorry after it was driven "in a manner that causes alarm or annoyance to other road users" at Beachy Head on Sunday afternoon.

Eastbourne Police posted a picture of the blue car as it was being removed on social media with the caption: "The driver of this vehicle will have some time to think about their actions after they were stopped due to their manner of driving along Beachy Head Road.
