POLICE are urging car enthusiasts to 'adhere to road laws' ahead of a potential car meet they understand to be taking place in Wiltshire this weekend.
A statement issued by Wiltshire Police states: "We are aware of plans for a potential car meet due to take place in Wiltshire this weekend and we are putting plans in place to be able to respond appropriately.
"We understand the vast majority of those people who attend these events do so to engage with other like-minded car enthusiasts and we do not intend on preventing these individuals from meeting in a safe environment.
"However, recent events of this nature have involved a number of individuals acting in an anti-social manner, with a collision reported at one and a number of police cars damaged. This behaviour will not be tolerated.
"We will be working closely with the local authorities to ensure we have appropriate plans and mitigation in place to help keep the public safe, and we will be using a range of tactics including the use of CCTV and drones. We would urge those taking part to adhere to road traffic laws and we will take action against anyone found to be breaching these laws.
"As always, we will be closely monitoring any gatherings in the county and would urge members of the public to report any concerns to us immediately."
