"Most concerning is the actions of the drivers of the offending vehicles, who appear motivated by making videos for social media,” a PSNI spokesperson said.

"Not only is it a serious nuisance for those that live nearby, it is highly likely that someone will end up seriously injured or worse.

"Please drive safely and with consideration of other road users, local residents and your passengers.

"Police will continue to monitor this area and any offending noted will be dealt with appropriately.”
