Police in Jersey are using a new tactic in their fight against speeding drivers .

They are paying persistent offenders a home visit.

It is part of Operation Canvas, that was launched in July, to crack down on drivers going at high speeds along the island's roads.

Over the course of the operation, more than 1,000 vehicles were checked. Two motorists were caught traveling at speeds of more than 80mph on Victoria Avenue. In St Ouen, one motorist was seen driving at 84mph.

Jersey Police is also asking the public to help in their crackdown on speeding.

It will be launching an online portal later this month to make it easier to report offenders.
